If you use ssh to administer the machines that need to transfer files, you can use scp, which is an encrypted file transfer method using the ssh daemon. If you're transferring files into an unsecure network, you'd be better off using scp anyway. The downfall of this is that you need valid accounts on both boxes....there's no anonymous login, as it authenticates the same way ssh does. (as far as I know)
There are also command-line scp clients for Win32, so if you have NT boxes in the mix, they can still be scripted. www.ssh.org should have links to all the free ssh-based applications you need. The only other solution I can think of that would allow anonymous access is to run apache and post the files you need to transfer to the web content directory, then use wget in a script on the box outside your firewall to snag the files. I guess it all depends on how secure you need it to be and how sensitive the information is.

We depend heavily upon anonymous ftp to update certain files and such on a machine that is outside our firewall. What kind of replacements are available to allow unattended transfer of files from a secure network to an unsecure network? thanks -- -bob Remember the... the... uhh..... ********************************************************************** * Robert Kerr, The morphing guy. * MS 0847 Sandia National Labs * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Albuquerque NM 87185-0847 * * [EMAIL PROTECTED] * Phone: (505) 844-8606 * * http://www.et.byu.edu/~kerrr * Fax: (505) 844-9297 * ********************************************************************** -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
