First, you should not have used Reply option to start new thread, but what is done is done. Next, I do not understand what you actually want. From ProFTPD site: "By contrast, SFTP refers to "Secure File Transfer Protocol", and is not related to FTP in any way. SFTP is based on the SSH2 protocol, which uses binary encoding of messages over a secure channel. Unlike FTP, SSH2 only uses a single TCP connection, and multiplexes multiple transfers or "channels" over that single connection. For this reason, many sites prefer SFTP to FTPS for secure transfer of data. " So you just need Midnight Commander of Krusader (with sshfs added I think) for intermittent access to filesystem via SSH, and if you use Windows there is "WinSCP" SFTP client. As server, ANY Linux box with allowed SSH connections will do. If you want automounting of SFTP (Remote SSH) filesystem, follow https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Autofs#Remote_SSH -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
