Hi all, I'm interested in making a few files available to friends of mine, and in having an upload directory for them to give me stuff, too. I'm wondering what's the best tool for this job. * I'll only be talking about a very few users. (like 10 to 20 total) * I don't have any particular interest in allowing anonymous access. * I'd like something that's reasonably secure (especially against sniffing and such external attacks; the users are reasonably trusted). * It would be nice not to have to create a local user for each remote user... * Ease of setup would be a major bonus. The first thing that comes to mind is FTP, but I'm not sure it's the right tool for the job. I've heard a lot of horror stories about its (in)security... I do remember using some sort of "ssh file transfer" client somewhere... sometime... back in my Windoze days... This has a promising ring to it. Any ideas on whether that's what I'm looking for, and if so, is there a server for this in woody? I'm prepared to do my reading first, naturally. But I could use some pointers on where to start.
