A secure FTP replacement
Is sftp not available as a Debian package? Couldn't find it in dselect. In any case, what are you folks using as a replacement for unsecure FTP protocol? I need a solution that would also provide my Windows users a viable method to transfer files to my server. Now that I've wrapped POP3 and IMAP in SSL, FTP is my last worry. Thanks for any input. -- Arcady Genkin Don't read everything you believe.

I don't see it for stable either, though it is showing up on my unstable boxen. You could get the source and recompile against you're installed libraries. Other file transfer options are samba (not much of a security win there, possibly even a loss), and scp. I have a free (atleast like beer, I think like speach) scp client for windoze, if you're interested I can either send it or dig up the URL. Recompliling sftp is really you're best option (IMHO), unless someone else has already done it. -Jon
