sftp comes automatically with openssh. If it is not already activated by default when you install it, you need to put it on in runlevels 3 and 5 with the YaST runlevel editor. Please, note that openssh has had some security patches applied to it, yet. So, if you haven't installed it yet, you need to update it via YOU or by hand immediately before letting everybody connect to your port 22. Once you have the sshd daemon up and running and opened port 22 on your firewall you should be able to connect to it by simply typing sftp pseep@your.local.host.machine on the remote host, where I assumed pseep to be your account name on your.local.host.machine (replace that with your particular IP address). It will then open up a challenge/response dialog which asks you for your password, and let you connect to your home directory after passing. Good luck, Alex. On Wed, 8 Oct 2003 pseep@mail.gr wrote:

I use pure-ftpd and have been quite happy with it so far. It is on the pro version (not sure about the personal one as I don't have that). Simply install, and configure to your needs by editing the /etc/pure-ftpd.conf file. It may also help to read the man page of pure-ftpd. Make sure you open up the right ports on your firewall for it to work.
If you don't need anonymous access, a much better solution would be to use sftp as it will use ssh to connect and encrypt your up- and down-loads.
Cheers, Alex.
