Hello, all.

As you know, basic tcp/ip based service is throught plain text.
So I use ssh instead telnet, and sslwrap with pop3 etc.
But I have no idea about ftp encryption method.
using sslwrap, I can't use ftp service because ftp use two port.
Do you know any method how to encryption ftp service?

Thanks in advance.

How about sftp?
If you need to have it only and don't want shell accounts then it is a bit
more difficult but I think possible using a chrooted env (good idea
anyway) and a special shell (I've heard of) called scponly. I am not sure
how to implement it but I bet it couldn't be to hard.
