hi
i have to add our ftpvoyager to this list - either on www.ftpvoyager.info
or www.ftpvoyager.com

Now your reply is just spam. Your mentioned software does nothing for the situation. It is nice that your software can do secure file transfer, but it takes a server to make it work. The Raq does not have a secure ftp server out of the box. This is the first thing a person has to deal with to get secure ftp to work. I believe the current version of WSFtp also allows secure ftp via ssl. I uninstalled it (downgraded) as the newer versions round of file sizes to a size too large (1k increments)

WinSCP is not necessarily the answer either (for those who mentioned it). WinSCP is a nice product, BUT. the person can browse the entire server. Some people are not happy with this "feature". (It is not the product, but the server as WinSCP is just using SSH and that on Linux that allows it, correct gurus?)
