Please don't skin me as I know this topic in some shape came through here a
little while back ;-)
There has been some major SSH attacks going on since July and they're
getting worse. A Linux box we run for a client had a dictionary hack
attempt yesterday and it's starting to pi$$ me off.
We can lock the box down so that the authentication to access it is only via
keys (no passwords). The problem there is that kills using WS-FTP for
regualt uploads. I use PuTTy
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) when I have to access
root account level files (that I can't FTP to because of permissions). Now
PuTTy hase an SFTP app (that uses keys on client and server for auth), but
it's command line. I came to programming using GUIs and I can't give it up
(especially for the FTPing).
So does anybody know of an FTP app with a GUI that will use a key based auth
scheme?
TIA
