[net.ftp] secure ftp (probably off topic)

[Benedict Verheyen]

Hi,

i solved the problem i had with the FTPClient classes from org.apache.commons.net.ftp.*. However, another requirement popped up in the project: the ftp has to be secure. (now they tell me :-(
The classes don't seem to have any way of securing the connection.
What would be the easiest and fastest way of accomplishing this?

I can see a number of possibilities:
1. go find other classes that already have this ability
2. use ssh or other encryption from the client program to connect to the server. this method is probably difficult because it has to work on both linux and windows.

Any info is appreciated.
Thanks,
Benedict
