Secure file transfers
Which packages are available to upload /download large dumpfiles in a secure fashion (e.g. using SSL). The customer should not need any secure client installed on his PC.

Anything that is secure will require appropriate software at both ends of the transfer, and thus will require some sort of security-aware client on the customer's PC.

Re: Secure file transfers
I had a similar, perhaps related question. I'm making backups via tar to a SMB server, but I would rather use sftp/scp for it (the NAS supports both SMB and scp/sftp). I don't have enough disk space to make the backup to a tarchive and then scp that tarchive. Is there a way to make scp/sftp read from a pipe or stdin, rather than specific filenames? The docs haven't mentioned it, but since the subject came up I thought it worth asking... --- Anthony Atkielski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Danie Du Toit writes: Which packages are available to upload /download large dumpfiles in a secure fashion (e.g. using SSL).

The easiest webdav client that I've found in *nix is Konqueror. Windows (2K, XP) and Mac OSX have support for webdav by default.

Hmm the other way round is easy enough, scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:foo.tar.gz /dev/stdout | tar -ztf - and either way with full ssh tar -zcf - * |ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] cat foo.tar.gz cat foo.tar.gz |ssh jhary:10.0.0.1 tar -zxf - I hope some of this might help as i cant think of a way to do as you want.

You can tunnel rsync through ssh, this way you only transfer changes, you transfer changes in a secure fassion, and you don't need diskspace to create a backup file that is then transfered, I use: /usr/local/bin/rsync -Cuvaz --rsh=ssh /path/to/src/ \ myuser@myserver:/path/to/dst The only, but really anoying, problem about rsync is that /path/to/src/ is not treated as /path/to/src - the above does what you expect: mirror all in src to dst. So, while you try figuring out the /'s rsync to an empty dir, then you can easily delete.

Re: Secure file transfers
I am sorry, the requirements was a bit vague. A customer will call in with a issue and I'll request they send me log files, crashdumps, sniffer traces, etc.If the info is, say less than 5MB, I request they mail me the file zipped (password encryped) as most users do not have pgp or a secure ftp client (mostly windows users). Larger files must be FTP'd. Well of course there is the security concern. I believe one can set up a Apache server with SSL to PHP and have the client browse to the server and upload the files securely (without having to load any additional client software on their windows PC's/servers) I am running a 5.3 box and have some issues installing Apache/SSL/PHP due to dependencies mismatches.
