Re: [cobalt-security] FTP powered with 128-bit SSL encryption

Just a quick answer - sftp is the service in question.  The ssh daemon
allows you to run subservers - look in the config for something like:

Subsystem       sftp    /usr/lib/sftp-server

You can then use the 'sftp' command to connect to the server.  sftp
doesn't use a port of it's own - it effectivly logs you in via SSH, then
does file transfers over the ssh link.  I'm not sure about windows clients
for sftp.  I think Putty may support it.  Not sure about graphical clients
- basically you should be able to find everything you need to know by
searching the web.
