Secure file transfer: secure ftp client for Amiga?
« on: July 09, 2007, 12:29:01 PM »
Does anyone know of a secure ftp client for 68k based amigas?
Failing that would it be possible transfer files over a ssh login (on a linux server)?

any help or suggestions welcome

Couple of tips with that amiga port.

By default it uses T: to store the ssh known hosts/etc
which is a pain. If you add to gg:etc/ssh_config something like

UserKnownHostsFile /GG/home/buzz/.ssh/known_hosts
IdentityFile /GG/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key

You can then easily have a passwordless login (Copy your public key to remote server a~/.ssh/authorized_keys) which is very useful for scp etc

Also, if you use vinced you can echo a few control characters to switch to a compatible mode, where ssh will work as expected so that ctrl+c works and arrow keys etc etc.
