Re: SFTP -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

Well, if we want to go down that road, FTP itself should be eliminated. :)

Ya, but he uses HTTPS daily. :) Odd way of thinking.

Not at all.

There is no substitute for https, but there are viable substitutes for
FTPS: ssh (sftp/scp)!

Implementation of FTPS is a stack of workarounds to overcome the
protocol-inherent "data runs over a secondary TCP session" being inherently
firewall-unfriendly. I can empathize with networking people not wanting to
tackle with that.

:wq! PoC
