Hi all, well, I am in the progress of tightening up internal servers security thingies, and I wanted to try whether scp or sftp for my users instead of plain old ftp. Problem: My users in my department are mosty working under Windoze, repectively do not know how to operate a commandline, they only acept things that have a point-and-click-interface ;-(( (Yeah, stupid ones... But moving them to a webserver with some tradeoffs is better wo work under winblows with about 5 Gig of historically grown data (before I was employed) and being 3 Gig of them macrohorrified Excel/Word crap... So, anyway, for windows a nice GUI client (WinSCP) is available, which does nicely under FreeBSD (tested with 4.3 and 4.4), running smooth with a tcsh and bash. (WinSCP manual states that bash is required) Under RedHat 7.2, only bash will work, tcsh gives bad hickup... Ok, I discovered some sftp-clients for Win32, but alsofar are console, so they are not acceptable for my users... Does anyone knows of a GUI sftp-capable client, or another win32-gui method of encrypted file transfer? Or does anyone has some idea of whacking scp into some usability for virtual hosting (Apache with virtual hosting enabled will run on our web-server)? I'm afraid not, since scp needs a real user with a valid login shell...
