Tunneling FTP over SSH

Post by wluijk » Thu 12 Jun 2008 21:30

I am known with tunneling of MySql over SSH with putty. Can i also use make use of this mechanism with SecureBridge in my application?
I want to tunnel ftp from the server to the local machine in order to hide the ftp from access from the outside world and get a crypted connection in the same time.

Is this also known as SFTP or not and what is then the difference?

Yes, you can create secure connection to MySQL server over SSH with SecureBridge.
You can look the SSH demo by the following path: MyDAC_InstDir\Demos\TechnologySpecific\SecureBridge\Demo\SSH.
MyDAC_InstDir is the MyDAC installation directory on your computer.

At present SecureBridge does not support file transferring. As a rule SFTP is used for this. SFTP protocol is not derived from the FTP protocol, and it is an independent protocol. We are planning to extend functionality of SecureBridge in future.
However, you can also use the FTP protocol protected with an SSH channel, but in this case the FTP server must be started on your server.
