Hi, As usual I have two topics...
I was looking into baseftpd and running it through an SSH tunnel (as suggested in the BASE installation docs), but found that FTP (of any kind) won't work through a single forwarded port - it needs to open up another randomly assigned data port - and that won't go through our firewalls. Even in passive mode. So I figured out/hacked a solution in ftpd.inc.php which forces the data channel onto a specific port, which stays open throughout the session. The client can set up two SSH tunnels easily enough, before starting their ftp client in passive mode. I also commented out the quota handling in ftpd.inc.php which seemed to be broken (calls to nonexistent functions). I did introduce at least one bug, however - the connection freezes during the command following a failed ls, cd or get... I've looked and looked and debugged and debugged and can't seem to find the problem... So get in touch if you want to try this hacked version of baseftpd... -- Since we are planning to run a public BASE server, it would be nice to run it over a secure connection. Does anyone have experience with BASE over HTTPS/SSL that they have time to share? cheers, Bob. -- Bob MacCallum | VectorBase Developer | Kafatos/Christophides Groups | Division of Cell and Molecular Biology | Imperial College London | Phone +442075941945 | Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- All the advantages of Linux Managed Hosting--Without the Cost and Risk!
