Secure File Storage Over Non-Trusted FTP?
hmckee writes "Does any software exist that enables me to store/backup/sync files from my local computer to a non-trusted FTP site? To accomplish this, I'm using a script to check timestamps, encrypt and sign the files individually, then copy each file to an offsite FTP directory. I've looked over many different tools (Duplicity, Amanda, Bacula, WinSCP, FileZilla) but none of them seem to do exactly what I want: (1) multi-platform (Windows and Linux), stand-alone client (can be run from a portable drive). (2) Secure backup (encrypted and signed) to non-trusted FTP site. (3) Sync individual files without saving to a giant tar file. (4) Securely store timestamps and file names on the FTP server. Any help or info on alternative solutions appreciated."
The problem is asking questions to Slashdot?
Am I the only one thinking this is like someone saying they want privacy then running around butt naked then wondering how they can keep their privacy at the same time.
And the answer of course is security through obscuring. Wear a mask ;-)
(I guess you're not completely naked, but hey, close enough)
There are shills on slashdot. Apparently, I'm one of them.
A rabbi and a minister went swimming naked at a lake when some children came. Both ran out of the water to their clothes.
The minister covered his 'private parts' while the rabbi covered his face. When the minister asked why the rabbi did not cover his genitals for the children, the rabbi said : "Hey they recognize me by the face."
Don't fight for your country, if your country does not fight for you.
If you don't really care about your data, why are you asking slashdot how to keep it safe? You already have the answer, it costs $10, now get off my lawn.

so by "working on" you mean in the same sense I'm "working on" time travel, even though i haven't decided if i'm going to follow D&D, White Wolf of MTG-style sorcery to do it..
it will better than all the other travel solutions, even though in order to use it, you must travel in time (and the time you travel is equal to the amount of time spent casting the spell)
You appear to have misspelled "perl".

go home kids. You can come back and play in the morning.
In my day we tied an onion to our belts..
Worse is it always seems to be written by a guy named Chuck that worked there ages ago and didn't know WTF he was doing.
The best part is everyone loved Chuck and thought he was some tech god. The second you bitch about the beautiful VB Chuck wrote you are now seen as incompetent.
I feel your pain.
get offa my lawn!
Seriously though, where else would he keep his pr0n if not on your Mom's XP box?

We were lucky to have onions! And belts? Luxury. But you try telling that to the kids today and they'll never believe you.
