I'm looking for a way to secure data transfer from our clients into our network. Currently we just have an ftp server, I set it up so it has a read-only directory and a write-only directory (blind put). No password authentication since it's all in plaintext anyway.
I've looked at https solutions but they're very very slow and unreliable.
So I'm researching sftp, which uses the SSH protocol. But then I keep running into some kind of FTP over SSL. Not sure which direction to go.
Anybody know which is faster? Which is more secure? Which is easier for the client-end?
