[cobalt-users] Mac ftp -> ssh tunnel -> ftpd?

[Daniel Smith <cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxx>]

[apologies if this gets posted twice]

I have telnet and ftpd turned off on my Raq3i.

Although I am happy using scp/sftp from my Linux
box @ home to transfer files, my wife would like
to be able to transfer files from her Mac.  I refuse
to use telnet or ftp directly to my RaQ, for the reason of
passwords being transmitted as cleartext.

You can see where this is going... :-)

Is there a safe way to set up ftpd on the RaQ so
that it will only accept a connection that has
been tunneled through sshd?

I am aware that there is a free/share sftp/scp client
for the Mac, but that's OSX, not OS 9.  Hence my desire
to set up tunneling through MacSSH.

Daniel
