Software News : Pete's FTP gets SFTP support

Software News

Pete's FTP Alpha14 is now available from OS4Depot here:

http://www.os4depot.net/?function=sho ... file=network/ftp/pftp.lha

Pete's FTP is an advanced FTP/SFTP client for AmigaOS4.

With this release PFTP supports SFTP (the ssh file transfer subsystem) as well as traditional FTP! As far as i'm aware, PFTP is the first Amiga GUI FTP client to support this protocol.


Other cool features of PFTP:

* Fully multithreaded design
* (S)FTP to (S)FTP transfers (any combination)
* Multiple windows (for local, SFTP and FTP connections)
* Browsing while downloading
* Drag and drop
* Reaction GUI
* Pause and resume transfers
* Resume files that are already present at the target
* Transferring of whole directories with contents
* Deletion of directories with all contents
* Passive and active transfers supported
* Optional automatic binary/ascii mode setting
* AISS toolbars

Great little tool. You can really move files around with it.

 Re: Pete's FTP gets SFTP support
Cool
A question: for a server (ssh) the password field is disabled.
Any special reason?
BTW: pftp picked up the public key I have and used it for the authentication
How do I get back to servers list window after connecting to one and disconnecting?

May I add a feature request: sorting using column titles (size date etc)

Great job.

In the menu: "Project -> New -> FTP connection" opens the server list.

The password field is disabled because if SSH requires a password, it'll pop up a requester on the PFTP screen (SSH handles the secure connection).

Why not to allow storing the password?

I see. I tried one server I don't have key-based auth set up for it and witnessed ssh in action. When it asks to authorize the identity of the server and expects "yes"/"no", the prompt input is as in password(asteriks all the way).
Imho, it is possible to intercept the yes/no question and bring up a choice requester instead...

BTW: this means ssh should be a requirement/optional package

If you have any issues with any requesters that pop up while trying to connect, then you need to report them to Steven Solie as his SSH port handles all that.

No, no: afaiu, pftp uses ssh to connect and there in order to to run the sftp-server to do the transfers over ssh connection.
When one connects for the first time to some host, there's prompt to record the itentity, and the specific requester's screenshot is shown here.
Obviously the input shouldn't be made invisible. for full transparency, the yes/no primpt can be replaced by yes/no choice (you seem to be parsing the stdout of ssh anyway...)

OpenSSH opens that requester.

Oops, apologies, it indeed does, with PubScreen option (just rtfm-ed).
I'll go to annoy Steven a bit.
