One of our company FTP servers is running Debian Etch with ProFTP installed (using a back-end MySQL database). With this set-up, it means that all authentication is handled by the database (from an account point of view since no real accounts are created locally). Using this set-up meets our needs very well. One thing that I am exploring is how to implement SFTP. My understanding of this is very vague. From what I can understand, it's FTP using SSH over port 22 (I think I have stated this correctly - please correct me if I am wrong). My idea is to add this additional security layer onto our FTP so that it complies with PCI DSS standards in regards to storage and transfer of sensitive documents.
So far, the following is installed on the FTP server: ProFTP MySQL PHP5 Apache2 OpenSSL SSH (and openssh-server) Does anyone know how I can change the configuration of ProFTP so that it's using SSH connections to the ftp server (I'm assuming that's all that is required)? Or, do I have to ditch ProFTP and use an alternative FTP Server? Any help would be appreciated.
