Hi there,
I just thought to make a small easy FTP app so the
teachers on the
school I work (two locations in two different
cities) could FTP
documents to the other location.
The FTP however needs SSL/TLS and I don't know how
to do that!
Hi William,
The SFTP protocol is a different protocol from FTP -
it's not just a matter of opening a secure socket
connection.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol>
While this might be an interesting project if you want
to learn more about socket communication, it might be
better to file a feature request in Bugzilla, so
LibURL guru Dave Cragg can build it for you ;-)
FTP over SSL/TLS is different from SFTP (FTP over SSH), I believe.
It's a while since I looked at this, but I think FTP over SSL/TLS
would probably be easier to implement. However, I think the engine
still needs a way to negotiate a secure connection (secure
handshake??) over an existing non-secure connection before this could
be implemented in libUrl. On the other hand, SFTP seems to be more
widely supported by servers.
Does anyone know if curl can be used for this?
Cheers
Dave
