I have been lurking here for a while wondering what this group is all about and suddenly I've got a problem where you might be able to help.
I am trying to do passive ftp file transfers tunelled over an SSH secure login.
I am running vsftpd on a SuSE 8.1 box. I can do ssh logins to this box. Normal ftp works fine. OpenSSH appears to be installed and running. I can do sftp to localhost if logged into the console or via an SSH connection.
I am using Macromedia MX on Windoze to create the files I want to transfer. I have read the manual and followed their instructions to install putty.exe and plink.exe.
Things seem to be nearly working but I am clearly missing a step or two. When I try to upload a file, I'm prompted to do the ssh login. After that the ftp transfer fails.
I think the SuSE box is misconfigured but I have failed to google up a solution. I suspect I'm failing to understand something deep so I'm searching google for the wrong stuff.
Any ideas?
Neil.
