Hi, one thing that puzzles me is why we have gotten SSH, SRP and other services for secure data transfer instead of secure versions of already existing services like we have for http (https). Some of this stuff is even commercial software to the degree you literally need to license the protocol itself (SSH2).
I am not a network guru at all, so I might miss something obvious here. However, I would really have liked to see something like "ftps" and "telnets" which was as invisible to the user as https. Then I would be able to use my normal ftp client (ftps enabled of course) instead of using ssh where file transfer is command line. Yes, I know Linux folks like command line clients, but there are people out there preferring GUI clients and mouse control. I am one of them. I said above I might have missed something. Maybe I even missed that what I have stated here as wish even exists? I have looked through the packages in Debian, but I can not find any trace of anything like it though. Guess I will have to keep running SSH....? -- ---------------------------------------- Regards, Christian Dysthe E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://oddbird.dyndns.org/cdysthe/ ICQ 3945810 Powered by Debian GNU/Linux ---------------------------------------- "Clones are people two"
