Hello BSDfan666,
Thanks for the reply!
I am not totally sure what you mean.
I suppose to answer your question I would say I am talking about both.
Are TLS and sFTP not specific types of communication?
TLS being an addon to FTP; sFTP being SSH-FTP. Both of which from what I can tell occomplish the same sort of thing. (am I wrong?)
The links/forum post I do not believe answer my questions at all. I already know WHAT these terms mean and how to use sFTP (forum post).
My questions:
1. What are the key differences between using TLS and SFTP?
(in terms of security is one vastly superior, does one not do something the other does...etc anything I should be aware of between choosing between them)
2. Does PureFTPd have the ability to support SFTP?
(can I run the sFTP feature through PureFTP's configuration in order to make use of the sFTP security but maintain my other FTP policies - in other words is it possible to use PureFTP with SSH as apposed to TLS/FTPs or is TLS another name for SSH more-or-less?)
3. Will SFTP be compatible with the SQL database for authentication?
(can sFTP (or I suppose SSH) be made to lookup account info through a SQL database/my pureFTP SQL database)
4. Does anyone have any nice walk-throughs regarding this?
(are there any guides that walk through the installation of these on OpenBSD)
Anyway please let me know. If I missed something or need to clerify further let me know. Thanks for your help.
