    I need a free and secure FTP program...?

    I was fucking around on kazaa and wow all I get is worms and stuff I don't trust... You never know if that shit is sending your ftp login info to cracker central... once they are through your firewall and they have login info into your servers -- you're basically fucked -- so you better trust your FTP program...

    I'm wondering what to use... I've used the original WS_FTP for forever but I don't have it anymore... Wondering if I should try to find the oldschool one again or upgrade to something new -- some features that would be nice...

    1. keepalive
    2. edit textfiles on the server
    3. clean interface -- so many freeware FTP programs are ugly
    4. ssh?

              FTP is not secure, your password goes out in plain text and all the assholes at the adjacent server farms will be posting it on GFY tomorrow.

              I never use FTP into my own servers, although I will happily use it to retrieve a file from somebody else.

              Instead, use WinScp which rides on top of SSH and does the same thing - but securely and free of course.

                          Yeah, I know but most servers aren't running secure ftp and don't have it open on the firewall even if they do, but SSH is running on just about any server.

                          Either is basically the same security, SSL, but I think in most cases you are going to have an easier time getting WinScp up - it will work with any dedicated server out of the box I have ever had.

                                  Probably most do. Its a real shame, because it just takes a few minutes to learn secure alternatives.
