Hi all,
I'm interested in making a few files available to friends of
mine, and in having an upload directory for them to give me stuff, too.
I'm wondering what's the best tool for this job.
* I'll only be talking about a very few users. (like 10 to 20 total)
* I don't have any particular interest in allowing anonymous access.
* I'd like something that's reasonably secure (especially against
sniffing and such external attacks; the users are reasonably trusted).
* It would be nice not to have to create a local user for each remote
user...
* Ease of setup would be a major bonus.
The first thing that comes to mind is FTP, but I'm not sure it's the
right tool for the job. I've heard a lot of horror stories about its
(in)security...
I do remember using some sort of "ssh file transfer" client somewhere...
sometime... back in my Windoze days... This has a promising ring to it.
Any ideas on whether that's what I'm looking for, and if so, is
there a server for this in woody?
I'm prepared to do my reading first, naturally. But I could use some
pointers on where to start.
Thanks
