At the request of a list member I will add some additional information.
Throughput is not an issue. It is desinged for clients (<20) to pick up
reports on a weekly basis. Reports generally range between 20-100K.
It is essential that clients can not see other client's reports.
I can't foresee any increase in activity. Once the system is in place it
shouldn't need to change.
Clients will be coming in from behind their respective firewall.
Our ftp server is located in a DMZ.
It really doesn't matter what FTP software I run on the linux box.
I might as well ask about encrypting the datafiles. Does anyone have any
ideas on what the best method is for this.
I have complete control of how this is implemented. So I am totally open to
new
ideas.
Ideally it would be best to have limited impact on the client side, since
some companies
I have no control over their systems.
thanks

Subject: secure ftp authentication
I have been asked to install a system for secure ftp access.
There are so many different options I would just like to get some feedback
on where
to start.
I am running linux 2.0.36 as my ftp server.
I would prefer to stay away from SSH, since I would have to pay for licenses
on the
client side.
Is s/key the way to go? How about ssl?
Assume the files are already encrypted on ftp server.
thanks,
geoff nordli
