[Eug-lug]Dynamic Ip

2002-12-07 Thread Dave Wyatt
We have a web server and the public is not allowed to access via FTp (a good thing). It is set up so the web directories can be accessed from the internal network and one or two ip addresses from the external network (internet). The problem is one of the owners wants to be able to make changes

If set up a DHCP server on my network, I assume that means I can no longer use a hosts file for resolving machine names, so does that mean I need a DNS server to perform this function? Dexter ___ Eug-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Dave, how about password/key authentication instead of ip filtering? What I mean is ssh. I assume you're using a unix based webserver. You can use ssh for issuing commands, scp to copy files up or down and sftp for a secure ftp session. It all uses port 22 and the ssh2 protocol. For a windows

Dexter, you can use hosts files, but it is only useful for those with static ips. You can setup your dhcp server to assign static ip addresses. For instance on my dhcp server I have it recognize my laptop mac address. So I have a dhcp assigned static in my office. All of my workstations are

Thanks Cory, The web server is Apache on a Red Hat 6.2 system. I thought of ssh but they will be using Windows98 and I wasn't confident of their use of the command console in Putty. If there is a GUI that will work with SFTP or SCP that may very well be the way to go. As usual, your comments

Jacob, You are right on target also. I failed to say they will be using Windows98 and connecting to a Red Hat 6.2 system. I just need a Windows98 gui that will work with sftp (or psftp) and problem solved. I will look into CuteFTP for Windows and see if it will do the job. Thanks, Dave

Dave, When looking for a client, search around for the keyword sftp. The protocol is really ssh2 running over port 22 and has little to do with the ftp protocol running on port 21. psftp is a program from the putty suite. Jacob mentioned coolftp, but I'm not sure if that is no-cost. I
