* Andrew DeFaria (Wed, 12 Sep 2007 22:49:49 -0700)I guess I'm saying is that if yafc, lftp and SpeedCommander can do sftp then scp will also work (no?). Conceptually I would think "copy this file" and relate that to a "cp" of sorts before an "ftp" of sorts. I use ncftp, when ftp is the only way, which doesn't do sftp (I think). Although ncftp can use ftp to copy a file or set of files in one command many ftp clients can't (perhaps yafc, lftp and SpeedCommander can do this - I don't know). What are the chances that those other sftp type clients are available on say the Solaris or Linux clients/servers of a client I'm working for? Much less than the possibility of scp being present. And I'm not necessarily against the idea of "well go out and get a working copy of these programs" but often clients do not give consultants that privilege.Thorsten Kampe wrote:* Andrew DeFaria (Wed, 12 Sep 2007 08:48:58 -0700)As opposed to just typing scp? I still don't get it...John J. Culkin wrote:You can use your favourite FTP client, right?!No ideas but a question. What is sftp good for? I mean what does it haveI am seeing an issue with Cygwin's sftp. It seems that after I upload a file that overwrites an existing file, the writable bit is removed. This prevents me from uploading a new version of the file.
The files are owned by the SFTP user.
Any Ideas?
over say... scp?
Yes. Some clients (by coincidence my favourite ones) like yafc, lftp and SpeedCommander do sftp. Lftp even does fish (which I think is "pure" scp/ssh).
