<FONT face="Default Sans Serif, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size=2><DIV>I''m getting requests in increasing regularity for secure file transfers. We''ve been a happy wu-ftpd user for a couple of years, and although wu-ftpd offers a rock solid ftp server, it doesn''t appear to have hooks for secure/encrypted transfers. sftp_server can handle secure transfers, but it doesn''t have the access control that I''m used to (chroot functionality, restrict reads/writes to pre-determined directories, permission capabilities, path-filter, etc). Ideally, I''m thinking it would be nice to have a combination of the two, and am hoping that somebody out there has seen something like this, or is working on it. I''ve done some reading on the chroot patch for openssh, but it doesn''t appear ready for prime time quite yet and it only solves part of the problem.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Is there any work going on in this area that anybody can point me to? My server is Linux-based, and I''ll consider commercial alternatives if I really have to.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Thanks,<BR> .../Ed<BR><BR>Ed Wilts<BR>Principal, Midrange Systems<BR>Merrill Corporation, 1 Merrill Circle, St. Paul, MN 55108<BR>mailto:Ed.Wilts@merrillcorp.com 651-632-1529 <BR><BR>The views, opinions, and judgments expressed in this message are solely those of the author.
