Secure Platform Independent File Transfer

[Prominence]

What are some good tools for securely transferring files between devices of different platform?

I suspect you are a spammer but, just in case, "sftp" is the correct answer to this question.

windows: Putty has a tool called PSFTP
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html

http://filezilla-project.org/ should help there too.

Pretty much every Linux flavour has it built in, and you should be able to find client and server software for mac, android and iOS

[AF]

ssh + rsync
or
ssh + ftp aka sftp

pretty much SSH + pipe/transfer program will do the job, pretty standard method

If you like, use git bash or cygwin and you'll be able to use the same commands everywhere. e.g.:

Code: Select all

rsync -aHS username@server:remotepath/ localpath/

The thing that I was looking for were cost effective hardware implementations of 2 to 4 bays file server or NAS with RAID 0 and 1. Something that is quiet and consume little power, yet something that doesn't spin down the disk. Diskless recommendations are fine too.

I currently use SSH software that came from SSH Comm. Sec. to do SFTP. Perhaps I should give filezilla a try.
