Re:Windows port of OpenSSH (http://www.networksimplicity.com/openssh/)
Re:There may be several solutions here:
use the existing ftp windows client to upload the files, I am assuming that your ftpd daemon on FreeBSD is operational. You can also use cuteftp, etc. etc. software on your windows PC (guy told us how to configure ftpd earlier!).
use dreamweaver or frontpage on windows to upload. They have built in ftp support, but they are expensive alternatives.
guy also suggested the most secure alternative using openssh. You need an operational sshd daemon on FreeBSD and you need an ssh windows client, I use FSecure, not free, costs $80, but has built in secure ftp client. FSecure is excellent and works well with latest OpenSSH port(s). I am not sure if there are any free ssh2 clients, but ssh1 has free windows clients.
Hopefully this helps!
Re:help thing? you mean man? If so try hitting "b" to go back up a screen. Anyhow, there is an ftp daemon in FreeBSD. Uncomment it from /etc/inetd.conf and then kill -HUP inetd. You will need the pid (process id) of the inetd daemon, which you can get with a "ps -aux | grep inetd". Then use ftp to transfer the files up. After that disable ftpd because it probably has a hole in it if you havent patched the system yet. Or look at using ssh. OpenSSH.com for information on the FreeBSD port, networksimplicity.com/openssh/ for a Windows port. Also, look at /usr/ports/ in FreeBSD. There should be an OpenSSH port in there which will be the easiest way to set it up.
