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?


Instead of ftp:

You can use scp, which uses ssh as a transport.
As well, rsync can be used over ssh.
