ftp

I know this is perhaps off topic, but does anyone know how to encrypt some ftp files that I have using some kind of batch file ?

hope someone can help

Thanks

ftp per se does not have encryption. a good way to apply encryption to ftp would be to use secure shell (SSH)

the best thing to do could be to encrypt the file with an encryption application then send the file via ftp.

another way could be to .ZIP the file with a password and then send.

what would be the best program to do this with ?

carl you can compress your ftp folder using ZIP or WIN RAR or any other tech. which is supported by your OS and then by establishing secure connection you can send your data on that connection...

I used a program called Secure File Transfer Client:

use scp, programs like winscp are set up just like a ftp program. I use it to edit conf files on my linux boxes sometimes and to move stuff off my web server

[carl_townshend]

is any of this possible to do from a command line as I have a batch file doing the transfer ?
