I can also use filezilla which 'CAN' be used without dusting off the rodent. And while it's nice to know about other applications that can do this, I have to agree with Tim, other applications simply are not MC. For example: I have an image of an old Apollo launch in a file named moonshot.jpg. I also have another file of the same name that is less politically correct. With mc {since my ~/.mc/bindings file is set to use "display" to open an image} it's real easy to make sure I don't accidentally upload the wrong moonshot.jpg. with filezilla, I'd have to be real sure I had the right directory... ;-) I'm still a little fuzzy about the diff between sftp & ftps though... What little I know about sftp is that I've read that it uses port 22 by default and that there is an sftp utility bundled in the same package with ssh. And I think, but could be wrong, with sftp, the entire transaction is encrypted... That is to say both the login password, and any files {uploaded or downloaded} would all get encryption. Am I correct so far? But if "FTPS is traditional FTP protocol with SSL-encrypted control channel", does that mean that this encrypted control channel would have protected the password, but the actual file contents would be transmitted without encryption??? And finally since the server involved would have some say as to which protocols are allowed, I have to wonder if mc is going to get support for both sftp & ftps? Or only just SFTP? -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <?> <?> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtw...@ttlc.net>> _______________________________________________ mc mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
