I have been using FTP for about 10 years. I know its not secure. Now with more and more viruses targeting FTP to compromise your website I think its time for a change.
Can anyone suggest something that is free, secure, uses a GUI hopefully and is well documented so I can figure it out. I have been reading about Putty but I am so lost with that one. The way I understand SSH its just a secure connection and I still need another program to take the place of FTP for the actual file transfers. Would it be possible to make WS_FTP connect through Putty? Any advice is appreciated. Thank You, MyWebs |

Hello,
You are right, Putty is only console client which can work over SSH protocol. Probably you should try WinSCP (http://winscp.net/). It supports both FTP and SCP protocols, has user-friendly interface and is well documented.

Thank You for that suggestion. Should I request SSH access to be able to use winscp?
Thank You, MyWebs |

Thanks guys. Winscp is exactly what I was looking for. I like how you can edit the file locally then when you save it automatically uploads it. Thats very cool. I guess I am easily amused.
