If you want to transfer files securely between a linux box and a *nix/Windows box you can you ssh/scp. This is not a direct replacement for FTP. I am not aware of a anonymous ssh/scp server. Anyways, the windows client can be found here. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html The linux client and server can be found @ www.rpmfind.net but is usually part of a basic install.

Hello guys, I need to set up a way to share files between my win box and the rest of the Lan at my department. Recently I set a linux box to act as a firewall and gateway to share the only one ethernet connection in my lab, I know a hub would have been a better solution to share one internet connection but it was sort of a challenge for a beginner in linux: LAN ******* internet ******* ******* *******-----* win1* ---------*win *---*win *----*linux* ******* (no prot- ******* ******* *******-----------******* ection) * win2* ******* The problem now is that I am no longer able to share files using the (in)famous network neighborhood, I have thought of a ftp server but I am afraid of hackers as I still don't have enough knowledge to properly secure the linux box. Up to now, I have no services (so no open ports) on this linux but I am in need of some way to share the files between the two computers behind the firewall and the rest of the boxes outside it. Please help me pointing me to a right solution: is ftp the way to go?, could it be ssh? (but I don't want to give users a shell, only need they be able to access some files from my computer and viceversa). thanks in advance for your help Best regards and greetings from Chile, Juan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
