further research has suggested to me that what I really need is to set up SFTP or something similar. I use my website to store a few important (to me) files as a sort of backup. So I use FTP (via FireFTP on Firefox) to copy those files over when there is any change to them.I think that it would be safer to use some sort of encryption when I copy those files and SFTP came up.Have I got that right?
Absolutely.The recipe remains the same. SFTP is a "subsystem" which piggy-backs on top of ssh.
First step is to install and configure sshd on the server. Second step is to install and configure ssh on the client. Third step is to generate your keys on the client. -- Phil Hudson PGP/GnuPG ID: 0x887DCA63 http://hudson-it.no-ip.biz @UWascalWabbit -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
