Some other ideas are "rsync" over SSH, or you could use "curl" which will support HTTPS.
If the files don't change much, or if you need to sync up entire directories, rsync is the way to go.
FTP/SSL is a different protocol and not that common.

Hi,
Red Hat 9 (both systems)
I need a secure way to transfer files between two systems running Red Hat Linux 9 by running a program or script from a cron. I would like to run a PHP program from the cron that calls ftp_ssl_connect to create a secure ftp connectiony using openssl:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ftp-ssl-connect.php
ftp_ssl_connect -- Opens an Secure SSL-FTP connection
I can connect to the remote host manually using sftp. I can't connect manually using regular ftp (its been turned off for security purposes).
Is the problem that the remote server needs to be running ftp or vsftp instead of sftp?
Thanks!
Mitch
