Re: FTP and security
In this case I use (and suggest to use) pscp which is a win32 implementation of scp (secure copy). It uses a ssh connection to upload or download. Unfortunatly it uses no gui and has to run from cmd or command. pscp can be found on the putty page... Greetz, Ivo Windows 2000 is more secure than Linux... Since the machine is offline half of the time because of crashes, it cannot be accessed globally, therefore producing higher security. -Original Message- From: Adam Spickler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 8 Nov 2001 16:57:22 -0500 Subject: Re: FTP and security Is there a decent Windows FTP application that supports sftp?
