RE: [cobalt-security] FTP using ssh and port forwarding no longer works after updating proftpd

["Brian H. Oak" <blists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Have you looked at one of VanDyke Software's other products, Secure FX?  I
use it to great benefit for doing secure FTP tranfers straight in on SSH
port 21.  They have a demo version, so you can download it and not buy a
'pig in a poke' that ends up not working for you.  If you decide to buy, I
think it's only about US$60.00.
