kristinoh Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Hi all,I am new in programming and I just joined a company that offers secure file transfer software components. So I firstly want to gather some selective information on why should I use Secure FTP instead of FTP? And why is SFTP better than FTP? Thanks in advance!

andsome Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I suggest that you do a search on Google. I have just done so myself and there is more information available than you could possibly cope with. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike567 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 SSH + FTP i believe.SSH is a one way encryption tunnel = VERY secure and it is something that is not very easily to break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kane123 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi, first of all congratulation for job. Despite the similarity in name the two protocols are completely different. In FTP all data is passed back and forth between the client and server without the use of encryption. This makes it possible for an eavesdropper to listen in and retrieve your confidential information including login details. With SFTP all the data is encrypted before it is sentient across the network. Hope you will satisfy with my opinions. I wish you for your great career.All the best!

catgate Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Ah. You obviously did not know.His mother sent him out to buy a loaf of bread, but, as he was coming home with it, a small dog, with a black body and white head, was run over just outside the SPAR shop (yes they do have them where he lives). He had signed a pledge, as a younger person, to uphold the code of The Younger Person's Dog Death Avengers Cult, and so he had to abandon the bread, and his mother, and go find out what or who and when and why this dog came to grief.His problem, for the last couple of weeks, has been that the only money that he had was just the change from the pound note that his mother gave him for the loaf of bread. As a consequence he has been living off scraps that he could find and drinking the water from the fountain in the square (you know the one behind the old picture house that they pulled down.)His mother has spent a couple of hours a day trying to find him, but it is tiring work, and she is hungry herself, because she is still without bread.So the local chief of The Younger Person's Dog Death Avengers Cult has decided that if he is not found before Easter he is going to organise a full public "Worry" session. We then may see some action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Maybe we should leave the thread open then. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 This thread was about FTP - which you have now revealed as possibly meaning "Find The Person"This somewhat reminds me of my inauguration into the Flat Cat Society - the usual entry requirement being to have flattened a cat by car.I was made an honorary member for doing it in a novel way - and for filling in my entry form in verse - as follows :-The Cheshire cat was grinningHe thought that he was smartHe side-stepped the donkeyBut got run over by my cart.I am surprised not to find andsome on our members list.
