sftp protocol

Anyone know anything about the sFTP/scp Protocol or where I can get documentation on it.

I have a program to write which will require a secure connection, and I can't find any documentation on it.

it uses ssh. so once you install ssh on a box you can type man sftp or man scp and ull find info on it and links at the bottom of the manpage.

also try the programming board if you havent already. one program that uses scp is called WinSCP. its a nice scp based windows app

Yeah I might check out, some of the sources, some of them might be a giveaway as to how the thing works. I might even be able to adapt one of them to my needs.

What are you trying to secure, exactly? The source is quite readable if you're going that route, with a little OVERVIEW file that explains what does what (for the most part).

I'm trying to write an sFTP script in PHP, so You can transfare files securely, over a browser based connection.

The Secure Shell (secsh) ietf working group have some decent documents on the ssh protocol.

have you tried scp which comes as part of the ssh protocol. This can be easily scripted.
