| Post subject: | Secure FTP? |
Anyone know of a way to make ftp secure? I'm using the debian distro on my linode, and XP on my home machine. Here's what I'm worried about: If I use unsecure ftp to upload, say, a .php file then I'm exposing my root password when I connect and any mysql password that's in the .php file. I suppose one possible solution is: (1) Use *anonymous* ftp to upload files. (2) Put dummy passwords in .php files for the upload, then edit them in place using ssh to put the real passwords in the files. That seems like a big hassle though, any other ideas? Thanks. |

I believe (open)ssh comes with an sftp server built in. Then you just need an FTP client that can do sftp. -Chris |

Do you know of any free sftp clients? Or is there just ws-ftp pro (which is not free)? |

I think PuTTY has an sftp client available 'PSFTP' http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html -Chris |

Thanks. I've been on that putty page several times in the last few weeks and never noticed the sftp part. |

I _highly_ recommend WinSCP2 (http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/). Kenny |
