Re: sftp v's ftp over ssl..

Hi,

I should probably clarify my question....

When it states below that the "data channel is not affected", does that 
mean that the data is not encrypted.

thanks

------------------------ SSL/TLS SUPPORT ------------------------

   Starting with version 1.0.16, Pure-FTPd has experimental support for
encryption of the control channel using SSL/TLS security mechanisms.

   When this extra security layer is enabled, login and passwords are no 
more
sent cleartext. Neither are other commands sent by your client nor replies
made by the server.

   However, the data channel is not affected by SSL/TLS. This combination
brings no significant decrease of performance and the FXP protocol keeps
working even when mixing SSL/TLS-enabled and non SSL/TLS-enabled servers.
