SCP - Interface

[TamedTech]

Hello Guys,

I've configured myself a small Linux box with an FTP style site that uses SCP as this was reccomended to me to be much more secure due to its encryption.

Now, the problem i have is sending files to the server, I am using a small app called WinSCP on my pc and i can simply drag and drop files accross onto it.

Now, i'm looking to simplify this process for my clients so they can upload info, preferably through some form of web interface that can be hosted on a seperate box.

I'm a ColdFusion developer and have been skulking around for some time now trying to get my CF code to post files using SCP protocols, but no such luck.

I could do this hand down if i were using standard FTP, of even sFTP, but this SCP has really got me stumped.

Any ideas?

Rob

Not sure how you could do this in Cold Fusion (or if it is even achievable).
You can accomplish this easily in Perl though using the Net::SCP module.

if coldfusion can run DOS commands then use an applet called

pscp, part of putty and supporting all flags of scp on linux.

Life is what happens when you are making other plans.

Thanks guys,

I didnt think about Perl,

I'm using Perl for a reasonable amount of other functions on my box.

I'd been trying to get my web interface to push the files through SCP down to my box.

But i think i'll run Perl on my box and have it Pull the files from my webserver on a regular basis.

Thanks,

Rob
