there is scp (part of openssh) and also sshfs which allows you to mount an sftp connection as a local directory. If you don't want to mess with ssh (why? it is really easy stuff) read this http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pfh/ftps-ext.html With this ftps I am not sure if just logins are encrypted or if data tranfers are encrypted as well. -- [email protected] mailing list
