New software: SFTP server and client
Note from news editor, sorry this message had not been approved to be send out!
Sorry about the late relay of the message (15th of February 2022)
SFTPServer is a secure file transfer program that is closely modelled on
FTPServer, in the sense that different user accounts see a different
virtual file system. The difference is that SFTPServer uses an encrypted
channel for all its operations. This is useful if you have confidential
material to move between computers.
For completeness, an SFTP client program is also available, supporting
typical FTP user-level commands.
This does not mean that FTPServer is obsolete. It is a better solution
if you don't need the encryption, and it will continue to be supported.
If you already have software that understands the SFTP protocol, you can
fetch the two new programs from
sftp://pmoylan.org/SFTPServer/SFTPClient_1.0.zip
sftp://pmoylan.org/SFTPServer/SFTPServer_1.0.zip
If those don't work for you, go instead to one of the directories
ftp://ftp.pmoylan.org/SFTPServer/
www.pmoylan.org/ftp/SFTPServer/
