Well you are talking about SFTP but TC supports only FTPS (FTP through SSL/TLS).

Too bad TC still does not support SFTP without using the SFTP plugin. Maybe in the final release?

To see how/if FTPS works I just setup a to connect to a ftp server with FTPS using ftps://ftp.xs4all.nl

The connection is established without a warning. You might then think this connection is secure. But it's not. If you look in the connection messages, you see that authentication is not understood. The connection is a "clear text" connection. It would be nice if TC shows a warning in this case.

I'm sorry, SFTP cannot be supported, there are no public SSH dlls like for FTPS.

For SSL, initially I showed a special icon for insecure ftp connections, but in the alpha test we decided to leave them out and only show a locker when the connection really is secure.

OK. SSH support is not an option untill somebody else can programm a ssh dll. If anyone knows of this dll (not the plugin), please reply.

Just connected to ftps://ghisler.ch/ and noticed the locker. This locker is red and open. From your reply I made up that TC only shows a locker when the connection is real secure so I expect to see a closed green locker. Does the red open locker mean that this is a FTPS connection without a certificate?

For the final release; Maybe TC can show a locker marked with a X when I try to setup a ftps connection but this connection is not?

Hello !

This locker is red and open. From your reply I made up that TC only shows a locker when the connection is real secure so I expect to see a closed green locker.

• …or a yellow one ?

• On the pic, you can see (left) that the current locker is grey and not quite obvious to see…
- So, I proposed a coloured one during the private tests (unanswerred).
- Green could do the trick too, though I think that yellow is more visible on a grey background…

 Kind regards,
Claude

This locker is red and open. From your reply I made up that TC only shows a locker when the connection is real secure so I expect to see a closed green locker.

The locker is red and open because the connection is encrypted but not verified. If you click on the locker, you will see the reason: It's a self-signed certificate (not signed by any cerification authority like Verisign or Thawte).

For normal FTP connections, no locker at all is shown.
