It's much more flexible than FTP, yet much more secure. Plus, you can login and get a prompt (using PuTTY), which cannot be done with FTP.</p> <p>Also, opening a file locally, without first downloading a copy of it, is not possible using either WinSCP or any FTP client. However, if you do use SSH, you can edit using pico, vi or several other *nix editors right at the prompt.</p> <p>WinSCP:<br /> <a href="http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/" class="bb-url">http://winscp.sourceforge.net/eng/</a></p> <p>PuTTY:<br /> <a href="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/" class="bb-url">http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/</a></p> Sun, 11 Apr 2004 04:10:36 +0000 eBlush_Hector comment 1149390 at https://www.webmaster-forums.net
