Re: sftp v's ftp over ssl..

Hi,

Yes. AFAIK Pure-FTPd supports only control channel encryption i.e. only
the requests & replies are encrypted. Data channel protection is not
supported. Though, from the client side, you can request for different
protection levels, everything is defaulted to 'clear' data channel on
Pure-FTPd side.

Rajat

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
darrell.



------------------------ 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.
