Smile gsftp replacement for SFTP/FTPS?


Hello:

I've got a few systems with many file transfer processes/scripts built around the gsftp (put/get) software. I currently have encrypted point-to-point tunnels to every host that I have to transfer to/from. This is costly (with external interfaces) and sometimes difficult to manage (out of my hands). I'm looking for a FTPS/SFTP replacement for gsftp with all the command line options that are provided by the wonderful gsftp suite.

I use ftp in the following manner frequently:

- $ncftppath/ncftpput -y -a -f $cfgdir/login.cfg -m ./$parent/$dirname $reportdir/"$fulfilename"

The options provided allow for croning and batching really well.

Also, if you have any other file transfer alternative suggestions, please feel free. We do transfers between Lin, Win, & MF...

Thank you so much in advance.

You can use plain sftp for secure file transfers, especially when using public keys.
