FTP is mostly insecure ... ftp sucks at all ;)
Use SCP. I just learned it. It rocks!
i don't want any user as real systemuser on my boxes, so scp doesn't work cause it needs real accounts (or you try to hack a pam module for auth against a db like mysql etc.). And you've still the problem with windows users, or do you know any free implementation of ssh2 for scp under windows? -- intraDAT AG http://www.intradat.com Wilhelm-Leuschner-Strasse 7 Tel: +49 69-25629-0 D - 60329 Frankfurt am Main Fax: +49 69-25629-256 Junk mail is war.
