I am running a large scale business and some time I have to transfer large and very important data files to my business partner. I fear about my data because there are many of my business competitors who will definitely try to steal my important data. So there is huge amount of risk involved in sharing my important data on Internet. I recently heard about secure file transfer technique from my friend who is working in well established software company. Does anyone have any idea about what is Secure File Transfer (SFT) service and how does it work?
I'm looking for a relatively cheap shared host, but I'm having trouble finding one with SSH/SFTP transfers. Everyone has FTP, but my concern is that FTP itself is not secure. I was reminded of this recently: http://www.43folders.com/2008/07/14/dump-ftp. Wikipedia documents this as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ftp#Security_problems. So with FTP, my passwords would be transmitted in the clear. (If I'm wrong, please correct me!)
I've been looking at Godaddy or 1&1*. 1&1 has a plan with SSH access that's about twice the cost of the plan I'm looking at. I'm not sure it's worth double the cost.
I'm to the point where I think I've overthought the variety of hosts, but in my estimation it's an important feature. Does anyone (dis)agree that it's important? Any other ideas of hosts?
*I was looking seriously at Bluehost also until I read some of their recent shenanigans here; thanks to everyone here for discussing their problems!
Also, to avoid the inevitable question of what I'm looking for in a host: 100 GB of space 1000 GB of bandwidth/month Linux-based server Apache server 10 MySQL databases PHP (preferably 5) Python support Some sort of control panel interface Good support reputation, preferably ticket-based and with chat support Automated or easy Wordpress installation would certainly be nice.
Does anyone know of a CDN that can provide secure file delivery for 100+ people? I'm looking for something that will allow me to send product download links to customers and have them only download the files once each. They mustn't be able to view or distribute the actual file location for their friends to download.
I'm looking for a pay as you go service with no sign up fee.
I know simpleCDN offers pay as you go, at a rate of $0.09 per GB with no sign up fee, but they only seem to offer http and https delivery at present, which is half way there, but it lacks the secure delivery.
I know Edgecast offers a 'secure token' system that allows download links to be sent out that can only be used once. However, they have a whopping $550 sign up fee, and then a whopping $550 per TB transferred. This has the secure delivery, but lacks the pricing my company can afford.
Does anyone know of any more CDNs that have this secure download link function?
The 'secure token' functionality of Edgecast is a good idea, but even a CDN that just allows you the standard function of creating multiple FTP accounts with different permissions will do to trick.
I don't know where to ask this question so hopefully I'm in the right forum. I have a friend that owns his own company and travels alot. He needs a place where he can store his work files (mostly document like word, excel, pdf, drawings, etc...) which contains very sensitive information. He need a place where he or the people in his team can transfer files and that he can setup access levels for his users. He need access to his files with a secure tool such as sftp or something else that you guys can recommend.
Also, since some files can be very large he requires a good transfer speed from everywhere in the world. He's looking at around 100GB of storage space and a very high transfer allowance. He will probably need to host his website also. Do you guys think it's better to host the files and website separately?

Just moved to a new server, and of course, 10GB doesn't seem that large for a server but for some reason wget is not able to handle the transfer of that backup for me... it transfers about 1MB then tells me "successful transfer..."
The old server is using cPanel, and the new server is just a plain old server that I haven't loaded up yet.
how I can get this full backup over to the new server?
I want to set up my desktop to be kind of a database. So I can access all my files on my home desktop, from school. (and be able to back up all my files on my reliable desktop as opposed to my not so reliable lappy)
Then the next thing I wanted to do is to be able to access my desktop using remote access. So I can control everything on my desktop, while I'm not there.
My laptop is running Vista Home Premium, I dont think that matters too much. But my desktop is running XP Home Edition.
I have a no-ip account. but I dont really know what my next step would be, I'm guessing to make a sort of FTP on my desktop? and I have NO clue how I'd do the remote desktop.
I am unable to find how to resume file transfor via sftp and command line:
I use PUT command to upload file, but when connections fails and I start again, the transfer starts from its beginning - how could I made it to check the uploaded part and then resume?
I seem to keep getting this error whenever I try to uploading something thats too large.
It transfers fine for a few mins, then it stalls and eventually I get this error message.
Small files are fine since they don't take long to transfer, it just seems that I can't have a file transferring for too long.
I can actually get the damn file through but since I keep getting that error, I need to keep manually clicking on the transfer button. So it takes about 20 tries before I can finish a 30MB file. And I have a lot of files to transfer so thats very troublesome.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? I tried turning off the firewall and opening ports on my router but it still doesn't work. Using Cute FTP.
A few days ago, my friends studying in America recommended me a new popular transfer tool—Qoodaa. And he told me that it was a quite good software to download files and movies. At first,I was skeptical, but after using it, I found it’s a good choice to choose Qoodaa. And I have summarized the some features of Qoodaa:
1.Its speed is faster than any other softwares I used before to upload movies.
2.It can download files quickly through downloading links, in a word, it is time-saver and with high efficiency.
3.No limit of space.No matter where you are, it can download fast.
4. Qoodaa is a green software with high security and easy use.
It really can give you unexpected surprise.
I am a person who would like to share with others, and if you have sth good pls share with me

i manage linux apache webserver with a few wordpress blogs and from time to time i see someone inject a malicious .php file into wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ directory.
i think its some bad plugin or theme, but these is more blogs, i ugrade, update, WP, but
how can i setup some monitor to tell me which php file (or even line in php file) injected that malicious .php ? I have linux root access so i can setup anythingÂ
when I get a dedi server for shared hosting. I secure it as much as i can and then just incase I miss stuff etc I hire 2 other companys to check over everything. Since I bought a vps from fsckvps are there any guides to secure and optimize a vps other then the one located in the vps section? thanks. I Dont feel like spending 50+ dollars on securing a vps that costs less then 15 a month.
How secure is my VPS? Anyone who has some free time and is reading this thread could please try to do some penetration-testing or something related (I really do not know much about network security) in order to know if my server configuration could be the problem?
Do you find any way to download the full database without login on the system (cPanel or phpMyAdmin)?
I have an application that requires a Secure FTP connection to a server to work. I am having trouble connecting to one server, a windows based server, while the CentOS Linux server is working fine.
Does anyone know where I can find test Secure FTP locations so I can determine if the issue is with misconfiguration or with an incompatibility of the program with windows Secure FTP sites?
I am able to connect to both sites using WinSCP and choosing Secure FTP.
