If I am correct, I believe that creating certificates and keys can be done using yast2-ca-management but I have been unsuccessful in doing so. I want to be able to use SSL with FTP and Apache. Has anyone experience with this?
Hi Paul,
SFTP has nothing to do with Apache; it is handled by the SSH daemon. It should work out of the box (when sshd is running) with the user's normal passwords, or with the SSH key files if set up. $ man ssh; man sshd; man sshd_config
Yes, but vsftpd also has ssl configuration.
Yeah, but this is apparently referred to as FTPS.
However, the name is still "ftp", so it is not that simple to know if you are using a secured connection or not, or to enforce it.
There is a setting in vsftpd.conf that will enforce it. I'm still curious about the level of level of client support - Firefox supports/recognises sftp://, but I haven't tested it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.6°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
