Perhaps locally on the box to rule out firewall issues. I wish there were some decent tutorials on the web with the different configuration scenarios and whatnot. I'm surprised Ipswitch doesn't give more information on this -- their book is just too basic to give any practical examples. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Cayce Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 5:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WS_FTP Forum] Secure FTP We use SSL over FTP. We set ours up without a certificate purchased from a cert authority, and just used the default one installed. Users get a warning the first time that the cert is not verifiable but we don't really care - it's for internal use. We have been using the WS_FTP Pro client for it. On the firewall issue - we have a firewall that blocks most ports. In the FTP server there is an option in Firewall Settings for a range of ports to use for secure FTP - we set a range and have the firewall allow the ports in that range. Our firewall does not do NAT since this is a server at a colo facility, but I think NAT will work OK. Only the data gets encrypted, not the TCP headers etc. Otherwise the TCP/IP stack wouldn't know what to do with it. The first time I set up SSL FTP on WS_FTP Server it did not work at all and I spent a lot of time on it. I finally uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked fine. No idea why. Ed Edgar E.

I have the book, but it doesn't really give me much case study examples. I currently have mine set for standard FTP. I would like clients to login and send files securely. Do I need to purchase a certificate for this? If so, are they using SSH or SSL or what? If both, which is better? Our Firewall uses NAT and I assume it's changing the ports in the payload. If the session is encrypted, it won't be able to change the ports. Do I setup a range of ports for SFTP or what? What other clients other than WSFTP_Pro allow for secure transmission -- assuming I go SSH or SSL? Until I can get this working... I simply have clients sending files using AES WinZip 9 compresision and turned off listing capabilities. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Cayce Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 4:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [WS_FTP Forum] Secure FTP I use it.
