RE: AW: nix based ftp server suggestions

Vsftpd seems to be working nicely under my tests so far, as a bonus I have
enabled ssl on the connections so now I can only connect via ssl. 

As this will only be used by our users and maybe 30-40 clients/providers,
would there be much point getting a cert from an external CA? I guess it's a
trust thing. (Excuse the pun).
The point that Grant made about distributing clients also seems to be a
sticking point. I'm using FileZilla for testing and it is pretty easy but
the for anyone in luserland this might be a bit much to configure. Will have
to see about exporting sites/connections/settings to externals.

I'm not trying to divert a thread, but SSH can be accessed over the web, for
example: http://www.gotossh.com/


Additionally, one could use Ajaxterm + SSL.


I think the OP will be happiest using vsftpd.


For those running Windows that are interested in this problem, Server 2008
should come with immediate ability to run FTP over SSL.

Hi


I`d say you can access any ftp-server via browser.

As for "secure", i preffer ssh, but that cannot be accessed via browser...
