Hi all,
Can one of you recommend the best graphical FTP client for FC4 that is
available
as open source and is available as an rpm?
gftp
With that program you get all the insecurity of ftp instead of sftp.
Is that not right?
If you are getting information that is not confidential, why worry if
you are using sftp or ftp? If it is sniffed there is no loss.
Jim
Well first as a mea culpa gftp handles sftp .
Second, It is you passwd that you don't want sniffed so sftp is
important for security.
I usually use ftp on sites that do not require passwords. I did not see
any security risk there with using ftp. I never thought about
transferring information from one user account on a computer to another
user account on another computer. Sftp would be safer in that situation.
Well at least I learned something that I did not know before. For
situations where security is a concern, gftp can do sftp, live and learn.
Jim
