I've done lots of ftp but really haven't done "secure ftp".
Not wanting to appear dumb to the customer I want to know if he means sftp
or ftp via SSL or whatever.
We would be the client, they would be the server.
The information they gave me was:

Hello Rob,
Thanks for taking a look at this. Here's the info -
IP Addr = ...
User ID = ...
Psw = ...
Port = 10022

Didn't see anything enlightening in wiki.midrange.com or faq.midrange.com
Googling was a wasteland. Even selecting site:midrange.com didn't limit
it to that site. Yahoo was much more respectful.

infocenter got zero hits on sftp. Seemed to be mainly geared towards SSL.
(Which I am not even sure that is what I want.)

How do I get started?
