rhobite Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Is there any way to copy files to my account securely? SFTP and SCP don't seem to work. I've tried using SmartFTP and WinSCP as clients. Only unencrypted FTP seems to go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 At this time the only way I know of to get your files to the server securely is via the cPanel file manager (https;//www.******/cpanel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Thomas Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Rob, The https;//www.******/cpanel doesnt work, even if i replaced ; with : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rob Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Thomas, It is working for me. I believe something is going on with cPanel at the moment. Try replacing the /cpanel with :2083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhobite Posted June 10, 2004 Author Share Posted June 10, 2004 Thank you Rob. Secure FTP is a feature I'm interested in since I use unsecured hotspots sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ztrauq Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I just wanted to quickly comment on this as well. I would certainly like to have a way of securely uploading batches of multiple files to my account. Sending my full account password in the clear every single time I upload a file makes me just a bit worried that sooner or later, someone is going to compromise it. As an interim step, I now have each subdomain of my site use a different FTP account with a different passsword, so that if one one password is compromised the attacked doesn't gain control over my entire site - and, when I only have a few files, I usually log in through CPanel. I guess my question is, will TCH ever support some method for secure drag-and-drop uploading? Or are the current solutions as good as it's going to get?

TCH-Don Posted June 23, 2004 Share Posted June 23, 2004 I believe that will depend on the good folks at cpanel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztrauq Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I guess I'll have to bug them, then... I just keep thinking that someone's got to be able to figure out a way to do something like FTP securely that doesn't require a shell-based login.

psr Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hello all, I've been a TCH customer for a few months now. Everything has worked fine so far, although I miss the ability to manager my files in batch mode. The "File Manager" in the cpanel is fine to do a couple of operations... but if you want to operate on many files at once, it is very cumbersome. (for instance, if I want to select many individual files from a folder to delete them). Implementing SFTP access for TCH customers, while forbidding SSH access is not very difficult: In this guide they show how to do it: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/94/print Basically, as root: One time operation: Add the sftp-server as a valid shell: echo '/usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server' >> /etc/shells Per user operation: assign sftp-server as the shell of the user: usermod -s /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server username THen again, I know it is not as simple as doing this for a bunch (or all) of TCH accounts; you first need to study the impact on performance, and I do not know whether accounts are really unix-based accounts at the moment. I hope to see secure FTP access (SFTP) available in TCH soon! Cheers, -- Pedro Soria-Rodriguez http://www.megaspora.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
