Is Secure-Ftp ALWAYS = SSL-Ftp ? Other forms of encrypted FTP transfers ?Is Secure-Ftp ALWAYS = SSL-Ftp ?
Or what are the differences ? I want to perform encrypted ftp transfers. Are there other methods of ftp transfers which offer encryption? Wolfgang Secure Shell (SSH) File Transfer Protocol (SFTP) is one method... Here is a

I would recommend you use SFTP (secure file transfer over SSH). Linuxsystems handle this as standard. Windows systems need a third-party application; I've used WinSCP, and I know of other people using the BitVise product. Just to muddy the waters, unfortunately, some vendors (mainly in the Windows world, I believe) offer secure file transfer by running the entire FTP (you know, the stuff that runs over ports 21/20) over an SSH session. Ipswitch is one company that certainly /used/ to do this - it may still do. Finally, there are a number of proprietary solutions, which offer native support for things like interrupted file transfers, apparent atomic file creation (i.e. the file's either there in its entirety or it isn't there at all), and guaranteed delivery. I haven't used any of these but I'm sure a search engine will help you find them. Chris There's also ftps, which is ftp over ssl. It's not as secure as ssh, but
secure enough for most. ....kurt Show quoteHide quote "Chris Davies" <chris-use***@roaima.co.uk> wrote in message news:2ibtv3-puh.ln1@news.roaima.co.uk... > Wolfgang Hercker <w.herc***@hotmail.com> wrote: >> Is Secure-Ftp ALWAYS = SSL-Ftp ? > > It depends what you mean by each of those terms.
