Hey, thanks, Marcus! That file reflects (and disclaims) my prejudice that anonymous ftp remains A Good Thing (see: http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/ftp-justification), and that either scp or ftp-ssl (or, I guess, sftp) is perfectly adequate for non-anonymous file transfers. OS coverage for scp is basically universal: http://linuxmafia.com/pub/linux/security/ssh-clients Of course, no doubt some people will whine about scp not doing file-browsing. Some front-ends can kludge that capability anyway (SecPanel, KSSH, KDESSH, ssh-gui, and GPuTTY for X11/*ix, Fugu for Mac OS X / Cocoa, FileZilla and Secure iXplorer for Win32) -- or you can try ftp-ssl or sftp. Don't forget, too, about the FISH protocol, as implemented in Midnight Commander, KD3 3.1's kio_fish plugin, and lftp (ftp-like browsing over generic SSH transport). http://linuxmafia.com/~rick/linux-info/fish-protocol -- Cheers, First they came for the verbs, and I said nothing, for Rick Moen verbing weirds language.
