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.

I found a HOWTO on installing SFTP in ProFTPD:

But I want to know if anyone is using SFTP.

Thanks!

Mattias
