Howdy. I'm reading the article about secure web servers (http://www.suse.de/en/linux/webserver/seczones.html) and I see something about SSLftp --- yet when I searched SuSE's site, I got not hits about that. I do want to run encrypted ftp if at all possible. How do I do that? Thanks :) Joey Kelly System & Network Administrator ActionBusinessSystems.com && Gimme this! Gimme that!

How about trying the following addresses: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-admin%40vger.rutgers.edu/msg28743.html or http://dv.go.dlr.de/fresh/unix/src/misc/ (check the search engines ;-) mlaun

Hi,
I do want to run encrypted ftp if at all possible. How do I do that? If I hasn't to be real FTP, try 'scp' (from SSH/OpenSSH), if you have SSH 2.x as client you can access a SSH 2.x (or OpenSSH 2.3?) server using sftp. Better than sftp (which is not widely used since it requires SSH 2.x which had to be bought (with very few execptions, it is now better, but still not perfect) is hsftp which uses scp (?) in the background (and only requires a normal SSH 1.x or 2.x): http://freshmeat.net/projects/hsftp/?highlight=hsftp
For TLS/SSL ftp: I never tried it. (Another possibility is to use http to transfer files, almost every browser and webserver supports TLS/SSL.) And for mirroring there is rsync which supports also SSH encryption. All mentioned solutions require that there is support on both server and client.
