I was wondering if anyone knows of a secure FTP server. By secure I mean the difference between telnet and SSH (so all traffic is encrypted in transmit). I briefly saw references to scp (part of SSH) on a google search. As anyone used this or could comment on alternatives?
I've used scp a little, but only locally.
For example, you just do 'scp username@machinename:images/cat.gif ." and then enter your password for that machinename, and it copies cat.gif to you. Of course you can do it the other way too :)
Not tried it to third party machines so I don't know if you need an account or if it would work like anonymous FTP? Anyone?
