Re: [galaxy-dev] anyone using SFTP?

Hi Mattias, Posting to Galaxy-Dev, so others can see the question and response. Is there anyone using SFTP in a local Galaxy installation? I read that

FTP is insecure because it sends the data and user credentials in plaint text.

The short answer is yes. See. http://galaxy-development-list-archive.2308389.n4.nabble.com/template/NamlServlet.jtp?macro=search_page&node=4077377&query=ftp+sftp Dave C.

I found a HOWTO on installing SFTP in ProFTPD: http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=30607&page=1

But I want to know if anyone is using SFTP.

Thanks!

Mattias
