The way it was explained to me is that the name of the site gets decrypted too late for name-based redirection. Now you can have multiple name-based virtual hosts and a single SSL virtual host but it's cheating to say that it's name-based because it actually monitors all connections on port 44

Does this help: One of the features of SSH2 is that it supplies a secure ftp client/server. But I haven't used it. I imagine you will have to modify the inetd.conf file to point to the ssh2 ftpd and that will stop "normal" ftp sessions. -Alan At 02:36 PM 3/10/00 , [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
