Secure ftp

[MOHAMED MOUHIB]

Hey everybody !!

I need your ideas about using secure ftp in QT creator library : Qftp.
how to implement SSL to deal with this communication, if it's possible ??!!
What should I add to the demo ftp client provided in QT to have secure
echange ?

In fact, my aim behind the project is to ensure a secure file exchange
between two hosts using QT 4.5.

Thnx friends.

Hi Mohamed

Maybe this article from Trolltech Labs help:

Thank you Ernst for the link.

QSslSocket socket;
socket.connectToHostEncrypted("host", 443);

But is this sufficient to have a secure connection ?? Especialy when we talk
about an exchange of files (XML files for example).
I mean, in my case i wanna create a secure client/server connection in order
to exchange XML files. So my question is about using a ftp client in
addition to SSL security; is this possible??
If it is possible in which way can use QSslSocket merged with Qftp?

Thnk you very much for your help

Hi Mohamed

Unfortunately I'm not an expert in this topic, never wrote a Qt program
for this purpose. Just thought to give you a hint where to find related
infos. "Googling" the Internet yields many results from where to start,
for example

http://www.sslftp.com/

I wish you good luck with the project!
