Thanks for all the responses... I haven't implemented any yet but figured a
timely Summary would be preferred
As far as secure ftp from other than unix clients:
- ssh2 supposedly has a secure ftp-like transfer (commercial: DataFellows
and others) , but not a likely candidate for us, hoping for a lower cost
solution for many client PC's not running unix.
- There's an FTP client that secures the data and control
channels
http://srp.stanford.edu/srp/
- Tunneling a ftp connection through ssh works, but it's not excactly easy
to setup
- or SafeTP which looks VERY promising...
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~smcpeak/SafeTP
I'll have to read into this one some more and try it first.
As far as Netscape Roaming Access... see
http://www.klomp.org/mod_roaming/
for a module for Apache that will allow it.
Or you can buy the Netscape server suite... which is too high cost for this
option for us.
