ftp usage

I am getting conflicting info on ftp - do newer versions of this tool still send the id/password in cleartext? I assume that the alternatives are sftp and scp?

Re: ftp usage

No matter what version of ftp, it sends username/password in clear text. you are right, go for ssh/scp/sftp

Re: ftp usage

Yes scp, ssh and sftp are the things you needed..all r commands (rlogin, remsh etc) telnet, ftp do send every information in clear text format..

Good Luck..
