Secure FTP it's about time!

This blog post what written on Monday 2nd May 2005 by who has been working for Fubra. Our staff are encouraged to blog on this site, but the views expressed are individual and do not necessarily represent those of Fubra.

I have always been quite annoyed at the web standards FTP is among the worst of them and whilst SSH has had it’s fair share of bad news it is sensible that all web traffic should be secured where possible.

When Paul showed me WinSCP as a great alternative to FTP I was well chuffed mainly because we haven’t really been able to get to our servers via FTP as hardly any run FTP servers but also because I can use my SSH key to authenticate rather than remembering passwords which I almost never use because they are so hard to remember.

The people behind this project should be proud it is definitely one of my favorite apps.
