My mission in life is to abolish FTP from the face of the Internet[0]. Don't use ftp. Let me underscore this: _Don't use FTP_
It is insecure. Passwords are sent in the clear. Data is sent in the clear. FTP deamons have a history of security problems. Again. Don't use ftp. That said, let's find a solution for your problem. ssh comes with a package called sftp. It uses scp to tranfer files between hosts, and sftp to do file listings, and it works quite well. The best part is there isn't much you need to do to set it up. Create user accounts on the server you have your html posted on, and tell them the user name and login. Redhat Linux 8 already comes with ssh/sftp ready to go! There are two sftp clients out there (for windows) that work quite well: WINscp and ssh.com's workstation client. I recommend the latter, as it has a really nice drag and drop interface. As for Linux, I just use the command line, but I'm sure there are some graphical Linux clients. Anyone care to share? Mark [0]Anonymous FTP is okay -- but just barely. On Thu, Mar 27, 2003 at 05:59:16PM -0800, Roy Lindauer wrote: > Anybody have any experience setting up proftpd or wu-ftp?
