Hello,
I know that there exists a package for Gnome SSHMenuApplet for CentOS 5
(e.g. see
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/epel/testing/5/ppc/gnome-applet-sshmenu-3.15-5.el5.noarch.html).
The package sshmenu (which I found here:
http://dl.marmotte.net/rpms/redhat/el6/x86_64/sshmenu-3.18-7.el6/sshmenu-3.18-7.el6.noarch.rpm)
states:
=======================================Summary : Application to organize SSH
connection information in a menu
URL : http://sshmenu.sourceforge.net/
License : BSD
Description : SSHMenu is a small program (which is to be used outside of
GNOME) that
: keeps all your regular SSH connections within a single
menu. If you wish to
: have the full GNOME applet version of the menu, install
gnome-applet-sshmenu.
=======================================
However, I can't find a gnome-applet-sshmenu RPM package for el6.
So, does anyone knowof a gnome-applet-sshmenu RPM package for el6 (or
can anyone provide one)? It should include SSHMenu v3.18.
There is a package for FC15:
ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/releases/15/Everything/x86_64/os/Packages/gnome-applet-sshmenu-3.18-3.fc15.noarch.rpm,
but Idon't know if it can/should be used in CentOS 6.
Notes:
sshmenu (v3.15) exists in EPEL for CentOS 5, but gnome-applet-sshmenu
does not.
Both (v3.15) exist in Extras repo.
Neither exists in EPEL for Centos 6.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Nick

Can someone advise on how to find/create an el6 RPM for gnome-applet-sshmenu? SSHMenu is a real must on CentOS 6 Gnome desktop. Thanks, Nick

SFTP is served by OpenSSH and HTTPS by default by Apache. So what is you issue not using what CentOS provides? Alexander

Next, I do not understand what you actually want. From ProFTPD site: "By contrast, SFTP refers to "Secure File Transfer Protocol", and is not related to FTP in any way. SFTP is based on the SSH2 protocol, which uses binary encoding of messages over a secure channel. Unlike FTP, SSH2 only uses a single TCP connection, and multiplexes multiple transfers or "channels" over that single connection. For this reason, many sites prefer SFTP to FTPS for secure transfer of data. " So you just need Midnight Commander of Krusader (with sshfs added I think) for intermittent access to filesystem via SSH, and if you use Windows there is "WinSCP" SFTP client. As server, ANY Linux box with allowed SSH connections will do. If you want automounting of SFTP (Remote SSH) filesystem, follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Autofs#Remote_SSH -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...

Thanks a lot for input. The reason why we tested Serv-U, Axway ST, and other similar products for file transfer is for consolidation and security. We all known that Centos can provide SFTP for file in and file out with openssh, and Apache/HTTPS for distribution read only files. But our requirements are: ?1, both file in and file out functions for both SFTP protocol (port 22) and apache/HTTPS (port 443). ?2, an rich-feature client side program/applet inside popular browsers (IE, Firefix, etc), as our customers are not tech savvy. ?3, an consolidated user account management system, each user can use both SFTP and HTTPS freely. a web based user management interface is perferred, though not required. ?4, preliminary system-level and user-level file upload/download controls, file/directory access controls. Based on above, it seems difficult to use ProFTD, or Apache combination. But I may be completely wrong,? your input here is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Thanks. ? --Rob ________________________________ From: Ljubomir Ljubojevic <office at plnet.rs> To: CentOS mailing list <centos at centos.org> Sent: Sunday, November 4, 2012 9:24 AM Subject: Re: [CentOS] any reliable HTTPS/SFTP based FTP software on Linux?

That means - service is provided securely only via https protocol - and the other requirements are handled via corresponding web application (user management, access control, etc.) with full support of common browsers. What about http://owncloud.org/ ? It has "cloud" in the name but is an ordinary php web application with upload/download capabilities, user management, access control etc. so far as i known. -- LF
