If you have an ssh server (if you have FreeBSD, you have one), that will function as a SFTP or SCP server. Put it on an alternative port if possible, and for the client end, use WinSCP, Fugu on a Mac (I think it's Fugu..), and for BSD/Linux/smartphones you have any number of client apps to choose from. Easy peasy, a familiar 2-pane GUI FTP layout, very secure. -- Joey Kelly Minister of the Gospel and Linux Consultant http://joeykelly.net 504-239-6550
