Where and how to find Secure FTP

[David Land]

I will need to install some kind of Secure FTP software onto my HP-UX version 11.11 servers and wanted to know what HP had for this?

What kind of secure ftp product does HP have and where can I find it?

[Rick Garland]

You can get the SSH from the HP Software Porting Archive. Within the SSH package is the tool sftp.

OpenSSH - SFTP does not give you an option to send files in "ASCII" mode.
sftp2 has this option. Is there a package for SSH2/SFTP2 for HP-UX 11.11 server??

Thanks, Jay

[Rick Garland]

Jay:

ASCII files go across without having to specify the format. As to SSH2 version, I believe most packages are the 2 version. If not you can check in the sshd_config file to explicitly set version 2.

Jay:

One last thing, if you are using scp, no need to worry about the file format. The sftp and scp tools are pretty much interchangeable in that they both operate pretty much the same way.

The current version of OpenSSH from HP is A.03.81.002 and does not have binary or ascii options. The ASCII option is a translator to handle the wide differences found in storing ASCII files on different computer systems (Mac, DOS, mainframe, etc). All files are transferred as-is which is binary.
