SFTP is an simple protocol based on the ssh2 "subsystem" mechanism. It actually runs ssh2 and simply redirects it's stdin and stdout. We'll put out a draft on the sftp protocol when it stabilizes. (it can be published as an informational RFC) SSH 2.0 Beta-0 should compile without too much hassle on NetBSD, FreeBSD, Linux, Solaris, OSF/1, and most other common platforms. Installation may not be quite as easy than with SSH 1.x (yet). Port 22222 is currently being used for SSH 2.0 Beta testing (can be configured). Feedback: Bugs: ssh2-bugs@ssh.fi Other: ssh2@ssh.fi Currently missing and planned for the Beta-1 release: - scp - implement compatibility code so that the server can serve ssh1 connections too (this way both protocols could use port 22) - implement mget, mput and globbing in sftp client - system logging - change to use sshmath instead of gmp (our own arithmetic library, speeds up Diffie-Hellman and rsa) - fixes for dozens of bugs March 29, 1998 Markku-Juhani Saarinen Tatu Ylonen
