Our tests were successful with the following. Note that this is not the same as SFTP (FTP via SSH), so you may have to experiment a bit with your FTP client settings to get a secure connection. If it does, I can't find them, and they're not in the documentation.Īnd I need it to not support "tunneling" (aka port forwarding).Windows 2008/IIS 7 and above allows a secure FTP connection via FTP over SSL.

You would think WS_FTP Pro would have these features. Set the sticky bit on files (our default permissions are 2775)īe able to change the group of a file or directoryīe able to see free space on a mount pointīe able to see who owns a file and what group owns it. So, I need to find a new SSH/SFTP GUI client for Windows that's good. I think this is a fight that I am not going to win. But the fact that the security guy can't tell the difference between the two kind of concerns me. I think what they mean is port forwarding, and not tunneling. You create a secure encrypted tunnel between your machine and the Linux server you're connected to. Trying to explain to people that that's the whole point to SSH. So, I put up the good fight this week to try to get WinSCP "reinstated." And today the security team put the hammer down and said WinSCP supports "tunneling" and "tunneling" is not allowed in the environment. Then, on Monday, everyone had portable WinSCP removed from their machines via SCCM. They downloaded portable WinSCP and were happy. Well, my business line users had enough today and pretty much revolted.

We used to use WinSCP at work, and recently they forced us to switch to WS_FTP Pro.Ī bigger turd in software does not exist (unless it's made by CA, Oracle or Symantec).
