Sellam and a couple of
others on the list recommended Secure FX from VanDyke Software so I
downloaded it and I've been using it. It seems to work fine except that I
haven't found a way to create sub-directories on the host.
huh? Easy... right
click anywhere in the remote host window and on the popup
select "new", then "folder"... just like you do in Windoze. No
problem!
I used to use CuteFTP and it worked fine but when I
started using Jay's
web host I needed a FTP that supported SSH2 security and many of the
shareware/freeware FTP programs don't.
Sorry, we don't want users logging
into our servers with passwords in
cleartext, because if someone intercepts them they now have at least a login
on the machine. Non root of course, but why give them a "leg up". WinSCP
does support SSH (as well as traditional non-ssh connections) and is totally
free. It is at http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/
