SafeTP is a enhanced FTP server that encrypts the command channel only. Also provided is a client that can speak SateTP as well as stock FTP. You need such a client to talk to a SafeTP server. sftp(1) is an interactive file transfer program, similar to ftp(1), which performs all operations over an encrypted ssh(1) transport. (Right from the manpage). Different beast. And, this has nothing to do with 'Secure FTP', a java app that 'is a client package that allows for a secure connection to be made to an FTP daemon'. That requires astock FTP server. > > Arvinn > -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert <reichert@numachi.com> 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
