Hey folks, Perhaps one of the folks that has to deal with Windows from day to day could answer this question:
Can sftp servers be set up in Windoze? Here at Bellarmine, they gave me some web space, and are allowing me to ftp to it. I asked about sftp (so that I wouldn't have to use something so insecure as ftp), and was told that "I was thinking 'unix', but they had a windows network, and that sftp couldn't be set up for windows." This has got to be hogwash, I would think, but my google searches have not turned anything up for serving sftp from windoze. Is it really this bad? Bill ftp: file transfer protocol -- an old, reliable way to copy files from one machine to another over the internet. sftp: secure ftp -- a newer protocol which does ftp in an encrypted fashion, so that passwords and contents of files cannot be sniffed. sniffing: listening to network activity and pulling off info bound for another machine. Ought to be called nettapping. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
