Does anyone have any suggestions/preferences to a secure FTP server
for Gentoo?
My 55+ year old father-in-law wants to start learning building
websites. I am having him install Nvu and want to setup ftp to my web
server and give him his own directory to play with.
I have never had a need for ftp since I have always used ssh.
However, I want to make it as easy as possible for him to learn web
page design, so that is why I thought ftp would be the easiest and
most supported by tools. He uses winXP and I think Nvu can publish to
ftp. If he really gets into building websites, he wants to purchase
something like dreamweaver.
From my perspective, I don't want an ftp server that will allow
someone
to get in to my gentoo box by brute forcing a username and password.
I guess I can install something like denyhosts if the ftp server uses
tcp wrappers.
Thanks for any guidance,
What about sftp? You only need to have ssh running.
What kind of a client do you need to talk to an sftp server?
