I move stuff around all the time between work and home PCs. Windows 2K, and anything newer, I suspect, will do Telnet and ftp from the command line screen. That isn't too secure, though. A windows utility to do telnet and ssh is called Putty, available for free. I'm not sure how to do secure FTP from a Windows system, I generally have a Linux system available there too. I suspect there's a program that can do that, too. Windows networking can do everything you want with no add-ons, but I have suspicions about the security of windows networking. I only use it on systems running Linux and Windows on the same CPU under VMware. ... Both telnet and ftp send passwords in clear, which is insecure. winscp from http://winscp.net/ is a free secure-copy program with ok interface - I use it when I have to work with MS Windows systems. -jiw Winscp is the cat's meow for FTP type apps.(File Transfer Protocol) because it is very secure. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
