Title: FTP Disabled but still getting access?
Post by: Cyrus Bharda on January 31, 2003, 06:46:13 AM

Howdy all,

Well I was bumming around and found

"
Putty's SFTP can be found here, it's freeware:
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/psftp.exe
"

From another poster and thought I'd try it out, now I have ftp diables entirly in the server manager, but I still could logon using sftp, is this right, shouldnt it be turned off if ftp is diabled entirely? It probably is just fine, I'm just a worry wart :-)

Thanks

Cyrus Bharda

No. sftp provides something which looks and works like ftp, but is really an ssh connection. Disable ssh and you won't be able to gain access.

See

for more information about sftp.
