SSL

n4mation has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My web hosting provider gave me an ip for ssl. When I ftp to that ip number, I see the same files that are in my home directory. My question: How do I navigate to the ssl directory to upload my files? I know this isn't a Perl question, cept I'm gonna upload a Perl script to that directory. I know nothing about ssl, even though I have read extensive documentation. Any help would be appreciated.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    FTP is not establishing a secure connection, so what you have is no different from before. Get a distribution of ssl-using tools and use them. OpanSSH comes with ssh which replaces telnet, scp replacing rcp, and sftp for ftp. On Win32, I hear good things about Putty, but I've never used it.

    Once you have the tools, use the accompanying utilities to make yourself a key pair, and install the public key in ~/.ssh/ on the remote server, as directed in the docs.
