Re: [gentoo-server] FISH - FTP over SSH?

[Steve Dake]

in case it helps with your question:

sftp and scp are part of the ssh protocol. (Some "SFTP" servers are actually
just ftp over ssl.) Clients such as coreFTP , filezilla, and winSCP (all
windows clients) can connect to any SSH server (like the one you already
have set up and working) so you dont need to install another server on your
box.

Some clients give you more flexibility such as the ability to connect to
ssh1(w/ scp), ssh2 (w/ scp, sftp), and plain FTP also, in addition to
connecting to ftp over ssl. I prefer coreftp because of this flexibility,
but winscp and filezilla are also great products. They should all support
ssh1, ssh2, and multiple standard ciphers (aes, 3des, blowfish, etc) I dont
believe that winscp can connect to a standard ftp server whereas filezilla
and coreftp (as well as others) can.
