Title: secure ftp protocol
Post by: dschallock on March 14, 2017, 06:12:12 AM

Ugh.  So, my web hosting server 1and1 up and switched protocols from FTP to SFTP.  I have been using MFTP for while now and it has worked great.  Doing a little searching around it would appear there is no 68k program that works with SFTP protocol.
Does anyone know of one?

You can try if you get sftp in one of these working:
http://amiga.sourceforge.net/?showpackage=OpenSSH

I suggest you get yourself some linux or bsd system to use as "hop host" between your Amiga and the Internet, where you can install ftp server, telnet, rsh etc service for your legacy systems, and from there use secure modern protocols.

+1.  Inelegant but easiest.

And since I build raspberry pi inside the Amiga case - very transparent :)

i realize this doesn't solve your problem immediately, but someone might consider using @ssolie's build (http://www.os4depot.net/index.php?function=showfile&file=network/misc/openssh.lha) of openssh -- which includes sftp, among other tools -- and backporting it to OS3/68k. i use this on my AOS4 machines all of the time, and it works well. i don't know if it can be built against ixemul.library or not, but it may be an easier starting point than trying to port openssh from scratch.

That would be awesome.  If everything is going to end up being SFTP in the near future it would seem to me there will be a need for something on 68k to support this.

Quick question for clarification: SFTP or FTPS?  They are two different protocols, one being SSH-based and the other FTP-based, respectively.
