FTP/SSL for HP-UX

[Regina Mitchell]

Customer is aware of a freeware version of FTP/SSL for Linux...and would like to help us load it on our HP-UX boxes!
Is there is a version you would be willing to load.

The HP Box is a HP-UX 9000/800/L3000-7x
PARISC V2.0
OS 11.i
CPU 4 at 750

Can this freeware coexisit on the HP OS 11.i? Any additional information would be appreciated?

Hi Regina,

Here's HP's OpenSSH product which contain the sftp binary that uses SSL.
It's free.

HTH,
Jeff

I would stick with the Secure Shell provided for free from HP.

What is the ftp/ssl freeware?

What exactly does the customer want to do?

ftp is built into HP-UX.

openssl can be installed for free:

As far as I can tell the customer wants to use secure FTP. I'm just returning back to work from medical leave and this was the email that was sent to me. We have SSH on this server and I don't know why they want to go with Linux.

[Regina Mitchell]

Thanks for all of the replies. I do not know what this Linux Freeware is. I am waiting for reply from customer. Can this Linux Freeware co-exsists on HP UNIX OS?

[Jeff Schussele]

Well...they're *both* compiled from the same source obtained from openssh.org.
Functionality should be dang near the same if not identical.
Could be a versioning issue, I guess, if they/you have an old version.

My 2 cents,
Jeff

[Geoff Wild]

If it's secure ftp - then use the link that Clay posted - HP Secure Shell.

That has sftp in it.

Here's the release notes:

Hello,

You can download and install Secure shell, http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T1471AA

which has got SFTP client. If you want Secure server, you can compile VSFTP. http://vsftpd.beasts.org/

Shalom,

openssh was ported from the Linux open source code to HP-UX depots by hp. It will provide the server, a client and the highest possibile reliability for this application.

The sftp server works just like an ftp server except that it does not do clear text authentication. It authenticates and transmits data encrypted.

Any Linux client has built in the needed client to upload and download files to an sftp server.

Any windows client can get free software client from http://www.networksimplicity.com

or http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/

The customer states that SFTP works fine, but they have a standard interface package that they use, and it requires FTP/SSL.

The customer has suggested that FTP/SSL is available via Apache. Any ideas?

[Arunvijai_4]

Yes, You can try with Stunnel which is avaiable with HP Apache software. To configure Secure FTP, you can follow this document

I have found no solution to what the customer is requesting. After the customers has investgated their options, their request for FTP/SSL using LINUX freeware has reached a deadend. I have appreciated all replies.
