Mike, Have you looked into possibly writing a Perl script in the cgi-bin directory that would use something like secure copy (scp) (component of SSH) to connect to the FTP server?
I've used OpenSSH on my system, and I've used Perl scripts in cgi-bin, but I've never combined the two. Just a thought.

We are currently looking at a way to protect the download of our products on an ftp server. What we need to accomplish is: Use an FTP server Password protect the directories Handoff a Web user from our website and log them into the proper directory on our ftp server The reason for this is we are now going to offer 'full' versions of our products for download after they are purchased via our online store. The problem that we are encountering is that we only want those people who go from leave the purchase portion of the site to be able to download the programs. We can't allow people to be able to just browse the ftp server and download the files that they want. If anyone has gone through this or may have some suggestions or links for a scenario like this it would be great if you could send them along. Thanks!! Mike
