Okay, let's try another tack. I've got a server behind a firewall that users want to transfer files to-from. scp isn't an option because ssh is being port-forwarded to a machine that isn't the fileserver. ftp would be nice, but ftp sends passwords in cleartext.
ftpd-ssl seems to be the proper option (with the following line in /etc/inetd.conf to make certain no cleartext passwords are sent: ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -z secure I've got the firewall port-forwarding ports 20,21 to the machine running ftpd-ssl, and I can connect (and I've packetsniffed to make sure it's encrypted) and get the MOTD. Any time I try to do something else, like 'ls' or 'get', the session just hangs. I've tried using passive mode (the -p switch for the server doesn't force passive mode, even though it's mentioned in man 8 in.ftpd for just that), and the client says "Entering Passive Mode" and hangs just the same. I'd like to find a way to pass files from outside the firewall to a (specific, not "any") machine inside the firewall, that doesn't involve sending passwords in cleartext nor ssh. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
