You can just use telnet, it will be safe enough. Just do it at 3am when no one else is online! But seriously folks.... PSFTP (part of the PuTTY package) works quite well, PuTTY includes SSH client as well. Is there a particular reason you can't use TerraTerm with SSH extension anymore? That works well also in my experience. As to why you were asked for root password- it is likely because you initiated the sftp session as root, so it assumes you want to login as root on the remote host. You can specify another user at the command line: [root@unix mail]# sftp username@host Then it will log in as "username" and ask you for that user's password. In some cases you might need to specify it like so: [root@unix mail]# sftp -l username host The -l (lowercase L, not I or 1) standing for "login name". You can check the man page for sftp (on a UNIX machine of course ;) ) At 02:17 PM 12/26/2002 +0800, you wrote: >Hi.. Can you tell me where can I download the sftp client for windows >(2000)?
