I believe its a misnomer to call the scp utility that comes with ssh, sftp. its not
ftp at all. I'd be interested in information about a GUI scp tool for win32 platforms,
to my knowlegde one does not exist. I'd love to just make everyone here use
commandline scp to move data, but its just not practical. so its either
a) have them ftp their work to a machine inside the firewall, then have cron scp/rsync
the new data outside. from a production standpoint, this is really quite tedious and
time consuming.
b) leave ftp open on our machines and have the risk of their passwords going out in
the clear.
of course the whole point of this is to prohibit (b), right? perhaps someone else has
some better ideas?
