Their is an IETF Draft (hopefully an RFC by now, but I haven't looked in a while) on the matter. Their solution was to use TLS, which nicely gets around the two socket problems (although so does application SSL support... but I like TLS better :) ProFTP had a patch (may have been integrated into main package by now) that implimented the Draft. The chalange is for you to find a client that supports that Draft. http://www.proftpd.org Or use sftp. It is a sub-module of ssh (v2 protocol). It isn't FTP though. Or if this is infrequent, anonymous FTP with PGP encoded files. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- __o Bradley Arlt Security Team Lead _ \<_ [EMAIL PROTECTED] University Of Calgary (_)/(_) I should be biking right now.
