You can tunnel ftp through an ssh tunnel, if the client uses a passive mode connection. But then only the command channel is encrypted (ie your password), the data is transfered in the clear. Not the best solution, but i'd like to hear if this works with the ftpfs module. You can also tunnel nfs through ssh.
But i agree with Doug, sounds like a VPN would solve this problem. This is why VPN's were invented. -Ray -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ray DeJean http://www.r-a-y.org Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University IBM Certified Specialist AIX Administration, AIX Support =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= On Wed, 26 Jun 2002, Doug Riddle wrote: > Jason: > I could be wrong on this one, but I do not think that FTP can be > used with ssh.
