Thanks. I guess the question really is: Can the ftp client that's built in to |
| 14 |
programs like dreamweaver, frontpage, nvu, etc. work with an sftp or vsftp |
| 15 |
server, or do you need a special client? If my users have to install a special |
| 16 |
client, they may as well use WinSCP, but ideally, I can find a secure server |
| 17 |
(although I agree with the comment someone made about "secure ftp" being an |
| 18 |
oxymoron) that works with the html authoring tool my users already have. |

We all may have our opinions of dreamweaver, frontpage, and nvu, but so do my |
| 21 |
users, and I support them best if I allow them to use the tool of their |
| 22 |
choice. |

Ideally, I'd like a solution that works for clients on both OS X and Windows, |
| 25 |
as I have users of both flavors. |
