Hi,
I would like to use my ISP's FTP server for backing up my personal files
from my desktop. I was wondering if there is a tool available (open
source/freeware if possible) that can automatically encrypt files while
transfering them to a remote FTP server, so that the files on the remote
server cannot be used by the ISP.
File encryption is what you need. Transport level encryption is moot
if the goal is to protect admins of the remote machine from doing
anything with them:
On *nix, or using cygwin in windows (include gpg in what gets installed):
tar cvfz somfile.tgz /path/to/backup
gpg -c somefile.tgz > somefile.tgz.gpg (symmetric key option used for simplicity)
ftp or scp somefile.tgz.gpg to the ISP
