Good SFTP Clients?

Joel Parker Henderson writes "To improve security, my company is switching servers from Microsoft to RedHat, and from FTP to SFTP. The new RedHat has SFTP-- secure FTP with SSH and host fingerprints-- and I want to upgrade our people to use it. What are good SFTP clients? Priorities: an easy user interface, point-and-click renaming of remote files and folders, recursive directory transfers. Useful: drag-and-drop, resume broken transfers, synchronization of local and remote directories, written in Java, shareware or freeware. Thanks in advance for advice!"

    If you were genuinely concerned about security you would switch to OpenBSD. Therefore, I can only assume you are trolling. Redhat is not exactly known for its high levels of security. Indeed, at the risk of being accused of working for Microsoft, I would humbly suggest that you might in fact be better off retaining your Microsoft servers if security is that important.


    thank you
