File xfer over SSH?

[Ace69]

I have heard from some friends that this is possible, but I am unsure about it.

Is this, indeed, possible?

Yes, and there are TWO ways. scp and sftp, which I suppose are "secure" versions of the usual. I have used them both, works great. Looking at the stream reveals meaningless gibberish moving between the boxes. You "should" have man pages on both of these, installed by SSH, at least I do HTH, Ray

Thanks posterboy. I will have to try those commands. I always wanted to keep my FTP server up, but was always afraid of security issues. I will have to look into sftp and scp.

Thanks again
