Secure file transfer

Is there any (free) solution for secure file transfer on RISCOS? Basically I mean sftp or scp I suppose.

FTPc claims to do sftp but needs RComp’s secure sockets module, which I believe is bundled with a commercial product?

The command line ports of scp and sftp from riscos.info don’t work, giving various errors.

Does anyone know of an alternative?

Ta :)

puttytools, SSHProxy and pscp are clients for the SSH protocol, which allows secure connections between computers over networks that may be eavesdropped by others or subject to security attacks by third parties. puttytools support the SSH protocol version 2, whilst SSHProxy and historical pscp only support version 1. They are based on the Windows SSH client PuTTY. To run they need CryptRandom (see below) to be installed.

I’ve been using SSH on RISC OS for some time now but frankly never managed to figure out how to use sftp. It should work though.

SSHProxy provides SSH terminal sessions, whilst psftp and pscp perform file transfer. plink does X11 and port forwarding, and allows the running of programs on the remote computer (similar to rsh).

Blimey, it really does work!
Run as an ANSI task in Nettle: *psftp user@host.com

Use this version (puttools and puttybins62):

Thanks, I’ll give that a try!

@Patric …. mate thank you!! I just discovered from your post the “ANSI task” in Nettle, I was trying to connect to a SSH-2 server since a long time ago….

cheers!
