What file transfer (via SSH) program is the best?
 

What program is best to transfer files on a secured system via SSH protocol. I am using WinSCP right now, but it's interface is terrible (you cannot simply click a file, and click transfer). I need something with an interface similart to WS FTP or CuteFTP.

i believe cuteftp pro supports it. possibly flashfxp as well. haven't messed with any others.

Van Dyke, who make CRT and SecureCRT, also make SecureFX. It is a a pretty good program that does FTP, SSH over FTP and SFTP. The latest version supports SFTP transfers both in ASCII and Binary mode, which is really nice.

SFTP is great, because all you need running is SSH2. You don't even need an FTP Daemon installed on the server.

I'm pretty sure you can download a 30 Day Trial from the Van Dyke Website.

Cuteftp pro 2.0 :thumbsup

Any freebies? If not, I'll probably buy CuteFTP v2. I have not tried, or heard of, flashfxp before.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I am looking for a program that works without an FTP Daemon on the server... I will have to check if my server has SSH2 support. It has SSH1, for sure.

Hi,

Mabey you will like secure shell.

I think it's at: http://www.ssh.com


thanks

I was wrong. My server supports SSH2, and does not support SSH because of the security flaw in it. Apparently, Putty looks for SSH1 protocol, and moves up if it does not exist. Since it only has a setting for 'SSH', I assumed that it supported SSH1 and only SSH1.
