SFTP client

(1/4) > >>

Per E. Johannessen:
Can anyone recommend a recent/updated SFTP-client?
The connection I'll try to setup is to an external server accepting RSA-2048 keys.

Mentore:
IIRC I ported an old version of NcFtp years ago, I don't remember if it was SFTP compliant - most probably not. I may try to search for a more recent version.

You can give a try to FireFTP addon (it will work under our latest firefox or seamonkey.
I have it under firefox OS/2 (ArcaOS 5.1.1) and often use it.

It looks like this addon is allready available directly from fireftp.net link =>  https://github.com/mimecuvalo/fireftp/releases
Just tested he latest and 2.0.32 works too.
 
Note: if addon installed is refused for not signed addon under firefox, you can set under about:config
xpinstall.signatures.required to false
 

Per E. Johannessen:
Found this about the server;

"To ensure the highest level of data integrity and confidentiality, Mastercard requires all our customers to use SFTP/SSH with enhanced security requirements. This includes using longer keys to strengthen encryption and ensure the safe transmission of information. Mastercard requests its customers to update their systems according to the new security requirements."

They recently changed requirements and now only accept longer keys. Most likely the SFTP client have to be a lot newer than what is currently
available for OS/2 as well.
Looked at NetDrive and SFTP plugin but they've not been updated for years either.

Does anyone use a SFTP client to connect to a server that requires "highest level of data integrity and confidentiality" as stated by Mastercard?

Other option: Did you have a look on OpenSSH ?
