Hi list, I've been trying to get up an secure ftp server on linux platform, pureftpd. This utillity support both sftp and ftp tls/ssl. Is there anyone who has any experiance with secure ftp servers on any platforms? any suggestions? or pointers? Im not sure how firewalls will react on these two types, regarding ports etc?
I've been using sftp (and rsync via ssh) for some time now (OpenSSH on Linux). My firewall has just one hole in it: TCP, port 22. Login from the Internet is allowed only by RSA key. I trust it completely, and I've never had a hint of trouble from it. I claim you don't need anything more than the OpenSSH package (and maybe rsync). The only problem I've had is that I still have to keep ftp around for some of the webmasters with *nix-challenged software. -- Glenn English ghe () slsware com --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
