Deags Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Does anyone know of software that would allow me to remotly control a FTP client? Other than VNC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 Almost. SSH to get onto the machine doing the work, and the screen program to allow you to attach to the fake terminal screen is providing. It's text-based only, but works fabulous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing stopping someone from using SSH to control ftp directly, you don't even need a shell, just create a user whose shell is set to the ftp client.

And what program do you use to login with? ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 What? You login with the ssh client. That was Cooper's point. SSH is the SERVICE needed to be running and you need a client, like PuTTy or such to do the rest. Hence, PuTTy would be "the screen program to allow you to attach to the fake terminal screen is providing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, PuTTy would be "the screen program to allow you to attach to the fake terminal screen is providing." Well I assumed he meant the program called screen, which you don't need to use. There'd probably be a pseudo terminal if sshd was running on a *nix machine, but that's a device not a program. sshd is the service, and ssh and sshd are both part of SSH, or OpenSSH, or another implementation. Your apparent assertion that the client isn't part of SSH is wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deags Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 Well i think i will just setup a ftpd on it and just use a client to FXP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
