Secure Ftp to Website

[Guest]

Any chance of this ?

(SSH2 or SSL)

I have SSH's secure file transfer client and am looking to get SSL set up on my website as soon as possible.

I wouldn't find it all easy to cope if I encountered an environment where I couldn't use BC.

Best Regards.

Native SSH & SSL support is on the wishlist, but still quite a ways off. For now we have a workaround available that's detailed here:

It should be possible to use SSH port forwarding to do something similar, without an encrypted data stream, but I haven't had a chance to look into that yet. That should work by forwarding your local port 21 to the remote port 21, and connecting to your local system via FTP. You'll need to have passive transfers enabled in the "Firewall" section of the options dialog.

Many thanks for your reply.
I'll have a go. It's only recently that my work has involved more over the web.

Best Regards.
