Encrypted FTP connection?
« on: December 21, 2007, 11:32:15 AM »
Hi,

Back again for a while (while a have holiday).

One of my friends ask me about how to create a FTP server, to witch the connections are encrypted.

I don't know if you can use a SSH-tunnel or maybe a SSL connection. But if somoebody know how to create a encrypted connection to a FTP server, then please tell me  :).

We want to use it as a backup for our important stuff. And some private stuff.

Thanks :)

Hi, Tesk.  I cannot help with the server setup but do have an alternative suggestion.  That would be to create encrypted zip files to be stored on the server.  If you elect that option, be sure to use very long and very complex passwords to make them as uncrackable as possible.  The reason is that your user name and password are transmitted in plain text when accessing the FTP server.

Yeah, I know that it is only plain text. But the server we would use supports SSL connection for that also.

But it would also be encrypted with winrar, I think.
