And that's exactly why I prefer sftp and scp. You don't have to worry about the data connection, active and passive FTP and local or remote firewalls (if SSH is allowed). The only connection between local and remote host is the SSH connection.
Is it necessary to have a shell account on the machine? I have users which only have ftp access. Is it possible to have users with sftp but no shell?
That's the cool part of sftp solutions. I use it with the /bin/ftponly shell - no problems. scp can't do that and the standard ssh tunnel can't do it too. Just test it with the SecureFX trial version. Cheers, Ralf P.S.: Please don't answer twice! If I'm posting to this list - why shouldn't I read the answers there? ;-)
