[PLUG] OS alternative to CONNECT:Direct Secure+

All, I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this tool? There is a suggestion by the our vendor to use it, but it simply looks like a secure ftp solution that IBM is charging for. I'm investigating what features CONNECT offers, but wondering if anyone has had first hand experience with it and

David, Indeed, I poured through the Man pages & I have a copy of Absolute OpenBSD and I followed the instructions as closely as I could. I was just pondering if I should install 5.8 & Xenocara (I have a second post on Xenocara) , see how it works and take it from there. I did still want to
