Re: safest FTP and TELNET options?

hi,
    TMTOWTDI ..;-)) But you might want to consider since i gather perhaps
unfairly but i think reasonably that they are m$ users. Therefore IIR
there is a WSFTPclient or some other of the popular gui clients there that
last time
i checked was FreeSoft. It does SSL-FTP as well as STD FTP.
There is as well a Java based browser app that is surprisingly fast that
i tested some time back. It does SSH1.. i don't believe it does SSH2
however. This means that your clients only need to enable Java on their
browser and can scp or whatever everything over for point A to point B.
Here is ?n that just occured to me.. AFAIK you can't "as yet" do SSH2 via
scp? AFAIK it can't be done but you never know:-))

Best Regards
