Re: Enabling SSH only for ftp (not for telnet possible) ?



pmeister2@xxxxxxxxx (Peter Meister) (06-12-10 21:43:55):

However it is often said that granting SSH access is a security risk
for telnet.

The opposite way. Using Telnet completely eliminates the security
advantage gained from SSH.


Hmm, I am not sure. I thought I could grant SSH to a user for only his
ftp connections. Or does SSH mean: all or nothing: SSH for FTP AND
telnet or no SSH at all?

You are free to use anything you want. However, using insecure
clear-text protocols like Telnet will make the encryption worthless.


Do I need full SSH permissions to use scp?

Yes.
