[BlueOnyx:04941] Re: Secure FTP options with BX?

[Ole-Bjorn Olsen]

Hi,

If I remember right, 
I believe that "my" firm tried to archive something in this direction.

And I also believe that we gave it up :P 
Think we got stuck on the fact that BO runs so many scripts in the
background,
that we found it hard to work this out : /

I guess that al I really would like to say, 
is that we also would like to see a solution to thos issue : )

Emne: [BlueOnyx:04925] Secure FTP options with BX?

Hi all,

I wonder if I could ask an elementary question - I have searched the BX
forums and can't find the answer.

What are the options for secure FTP on BX right now? I know there is a
(perhaps overly complicated) hack to create an SFTP jail - but I think FTP
but with TLS - at least to ensure that usernames / passwords are not in the
clear would be fine. There doesn't seem to be any TLS option on the FTP
service though. Another hack?

Because a good way to hack a server is known to be the method of elevating a
known less privileged user account - I think it would be useful to protect
FTP accounts with some form of encrypted authentication.

Cheers,

Jeff
