Granted their IP address changes but usually only the last part. Just a guess but couldnt you restrict access except from local lan addresses and from their ISP? then use htpasswd to let them login with name and pass. id be worried about anything that dynamically changes the hosts.allow on the

Probably, but I'm not too good with scripts and dynamically updating the hosts.allow is scary to me. I think I prefer an OpenSSH solution. Dave --- Linux Rocks ! [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Couldnt you just have a login/logout script that checks the users connection, and update the

In 4 hours time the IP changed from xx.xxx.123.178 to xx.xxx.153.225. That is not the real ips of course, but that is a large range to let in. If it were just the last 255 it wouldn't be so bad. I think I still like the SFTP or SCP thing. Dave --- mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Granted

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

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
