Hi, > I need to have ftp access to a machine. I've found pure-ftpd but it was Hummm, you want the short answer? Don't enable ftp :) Ftp only accepts plain text passwords (until you enable things like kerebos, one time password, etc), so it is not, it cannot be, secure. SFTP is there, working easily, ready to use, with a decent Windows client WinSCP (winscp.net) Best regards, Olivier
