#FUGU FTP MAC OS X#
As always, of course, your mileage may vary. Screen shots and instructions explaining how to use Fugu, a Mac OS X SFTP program. Core FTP Lite was only the second Windows-based client I tried, but as I said, I find it easy to use, and it does what I need it to do, so I have no plans or desire to stop using it now. I used a text/UNIX FTP client early in my career, and then didn't need an FTP client for many years. (I'm probabaly not explaining that well it's basically like an address book for your FTP sites, where you just click on the nickname to connect to the desired site.)
#FUGU FTP FULL#
I haven't used too many other Windows-based FTP clients so I don't know if the following features are "normal" or not, but I especialy like the default two-pane screen where you can see full directory listings of both the local and remote drives, and the fact that I can save multiple connections' settings that I can switch between quickly and easily. I've used Core FTP Lite (the free version of the company's Core FTP Pro software) for a few years now. MOVEit has been tested against the most popular secure FTP clients using FTP over SSH as well: OpenSSH sftp for nix (free command-line, Unix - including Linux and BSD, password and client key modes). If you're looking for secure FTP from a command line instead of a graphical interface, PSFTP works on Windows and Linux systems. If you are a Mac user, check out Fugu or Rbrowser. In addition to offering secure file transfer between a local and a remote computer, WinSCP also works as a basic file manager. I found that many people were recommending WinSCP, an open source secure FTP client for Windows. Needless to say, I started poking around for a free FTP program that supported the SCP or SFTP protocol. But paying for security was a tough pill to swallow. I had already paid for the CuteFTP program and a couple of upgrades over the years. And to my annoyance, the upgraded version which DID support encryption carried a $50 price tag.
When I first learned about this exposure, I checked to see if my favorite FTP program (CuteFTP) would do encrypted file transfers.
Just make sure you're using one of those protocols, and your login & file data will be encrypted before sending. If your FTP software supports the SCP or SFTP protocol (look in the help or options screen to find out) then you needn't worry. But because there are so many Evil Hackers out there nowadays, it's just not wise to do something that could effectively give the keys to your kingdom to an unscrupulous person. FTP has always been an unsecured method of moving files. It's very much like making a credit card purchase over the phone someone *could* be listening in on the conversation. So there is a chance that someone could intercept your login details or snoop inside the file while it's being transferred over the public Internet. Further, the contents of the files you are transferring are sent unencrypted as well. That's because your userid and password are sent in the clear (without any encryption) to the remote server when you log in. The answer is YES - a plain vanilla FTP (file transfer protocol) session is not secure.
