I've build and installed the latest yafc (0.7.7) but unfortunately it doesn't support FTP-over-SSH2 (as SecureFX uses) either, only SFTP :-( I've browsed the yafc homepage / mailarchives quickly but couldn't find anything about FTP-over-SSH2, please correct me if I'm wrong. There are four secure alternatives (as I know of, if you know more, please let me know): 1, FTP-over-SSH2 (does _NOT_ need a shell on the host, it does tunnel it's traffic directly to the ftpd on the host) 2. SFTP (uses sftp-server on the host) 3. FTP-over-SSL (bloody hack as some say, I don't know much about it. 4. SSH2 / fish (needs a shell on the host) I think they are ranked in order. Nr 1 is nice because it connects to the running ftpd on the host thru a SSH2 tunnel and does not need a shell on the host. Right now only SecureFX (http://www.vandyke.com/) does implement this. Nr 2 is also nice but unfortunately you don't get any logs on the sftp-server more than login/logout, no filetransfers is logged which is bad when using a chroot patch for openssh 3.0.2p1 (http://www.coding-zone.com/chroot-sftp.phtml) (which also prevents users to get a shell). Nr 3 I don't know much about, anyone have tried that? Nr 4 is not nice because you need to give the user a working shell on the host :-( Best regards / FM __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
