Has anyone heard of a Kerberized (or otherwise secure/encrypted) ftp
client for Mac or Windows? CNS from cygnus includes a telnet client for
each, but I have regular file transfers taking place -- I don't need those
passwords all over the place. Any ideas?

Thanks.

AFAIK, the standards people haven't decided exactly how this will be
handled, and thus no one has implemented Kerberized FTP clients yet.
Telnet/d was just standardized recently, which is why you're now seeing
Kerberized telnet programs.

At least that is my understand of the situation.

If the objective is simply authentication without cleartext password, you
might look into the S/Key one-time password system instead of kerberos.
Fetch 3.0b6, the ftp client for the mac, handles S/Key authentication
automatically. And there are several s/keyified ftpd's around.

That is not true. OpenVision's Kerberos product, OpenV*Secure, has included a
Kerberos-capable FTP client and server for several releases. We implemented a
Kerberos GSS-API library which is tracking the Kerberos GSS-API standard as it
evolves, and we implemented a GSS-API FTP client and server, linked against
the Kerberos GSS-API library, which is tracking the GSS-API FTP standard as it
evolves. I use our FTP client and server regularly to securely transfer files
between machines at work and my machine at home.

I don't know if anyone else has done this work.
