RE: Secure FTP Client

["Roger A. Grimes" <roger () banneretcs com>]

Having faced similar requirements over the years...and having fought to
find the "best" secure FTP standard...and never finding anything but
client compatibility problems...I turned to HTTPS...and my life became
bliss again.  Just build a few web pages to accept file uploading and
downloading and let the web's most agreed upon standard do the rest.

Hi List,

I am looking for a Secure-FTP client for Windows which I can use to
connect to a Secure-FTP server which is an AIX machine running Open-SSH

I know there are lots of FREE tools out there, but my company prefers to
pay for a commercial product "for security reasons"

Just wanted to get an idea of the tools that you have already used

Our requirement would be one which is command-line so that we can write
batch files to automate file downloads

I had a look at WS_FTP and CuteFTP but these do not suit our
requirements

Thanks to all
Ronish
