I'm a reseller, and one of my customers would like to transfer files from our server to another server securely. Initially, he planned to use secure FTP server software ( http://www.globalscape.com/store/pu...?product=gsftps)
but our host doesn't support it. He's on a Window's server. Any ideas how he might accomplish this.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

Use scp, it has been ported to windows as well.

Thanks. SCP uses an SSH link, right?

Correct. A good free SCP client is WinSCP. You can download at:

If you have SSH installed on the linux server, odds are it supports SFTP and SCP. It's just a matter of having the right client.

you need to give your clients shell access before they can use scp right?
