The ssh packages include scp or secure copy. I use this only when copying files to and from one of my accounts to another over the internet. I use scp so that I don't need to expose my password. For most internet file transfers, ftp is fine because most use anonymous ftp. If you have to transfer files to or from a machine which requires you to vhave a login and password you are better off using ssh/scp with that machine. rudy > hi, I just had a thought when reading this. is it posable to download with > ssh, or to grab files on the net with this insted of ftp? thanks alot. > charles > > > On Wed, 21 Nov 2001, Luke Davis wrote: > > > Um, you sure it is using SSL? > > > > On Tue, 20 Nov 2001, A.
