libURL -- FTP over SSH

Mon Oct 4 08:35:00 EDT 2004

May I suggest in using the -R -L options for ssh it creates a static loop back port for doing such things.  For example I use it to login and encrypt all my VNC traffic sice vnc is not very secure.  There is a document on the vnc web site using ssh with vnc you should probally consult.

Subject: Re: libURL -- FTP over SSH

Andre: Aloha from Hawaii: "see some code" Not sure if you meant Dave Cragg's libURL core code or my scripts... I think you can hack libURL former from within the IDE itself... at least I could two years ago... haven't dug that deep into the IDE for a while. but I would be surprised if you can do the encryption thing over port 22... ;-) but, the trancript from interarchy's FTP over SSH looks like any passive connection would... Below is a typical script... it uploads a set of photos for a daily web page and and index file for www.gurudeva.org. I have mode set to ACTIVE in this one. but that's going to fail for sure to our new OLM server... (really fabulous managed server services there btw... I'm really happy with them, support is great..) pretty simple.. never more than about 43 photos, max, it's a small daily upload, but I still get errors, typically I'll see the last 150 entry in the log: 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for /export/vhost/org/g/gurudeva/www/public_html/01-guestsVisiting-10 -1.jpg. then... hangs.. and then "Error: Socket time out" from libURL... I'd would rather not try to set up the server to do the job...
