We have a client that would like us to FTP them some files across the
Internet.


On our side we have a UNIX box. I believe the customer has Windows
2000 on the other end.

They would like us to FTP a file to them on a periodic basis over the
Internet.

Our issue is one of security--how can we send a Secure FTP? I know
nothing about FTPs or SSH

1. Do we use Kermit on our end to send from our Unix box?

2. How do we do this (ie: encrypt)?

3. How do they (the receiver on Windows) unencrypt it?

4. What do they need on their (Windows) end?

Other options of ease and low cost with security?
________________________

We were told that a possible option is to consider sending the file
from our Unix or a Windows box on our end via SSL over the Internet
(instead of FTP).


BUT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>We have no idea how to do this in an
unattended mode on Unix or on Windows.

In other words I have no clue if this is even possible in concept in a
batch or scheduled mode....................



Thanks so very much for some guidance, Peter
