hi ya i'd do it with automounter w/ ssh ???
mount remote:/home/httpd/html /mnt/html scp /home/user/new_site.html /mnt/html sync umount /mnt/html mount is not needed if it is configured to auotmount and <user> does NOT need shell account on the remote web server you also cannot cd / on the remote pc either... if remote.foo.com is locally accessible ( 192.168.xx ) to user_pc.foo.com than its not a bigg issue... fairly simple and sorta safe?? c ya alvin On Sun, 31 Mar 2002, Junichi Uekawa wrote: > Jon McCain <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cum veritate scripsit: > > > I've been playing around with the scp and sftp components of putty and > > noticed what I consider a security hole.
