Hi folks

Anybody got any comments about Filezilla as a client on a Linux GUI to retrieve files from a remote Windows system via SSL. It works perfectly from LINUX to LINUX (you need to ensure openssl and service sshd is running) but it seems a little bit of a pain to get an SSL server working in windows (or at least to me).

I really don't like the idea of SAMBA transfer over the public internet or using rdp (on linux rdp'ing to windows is easy enough - krdp,xrdp, etc etc). In any case on remote connections rdp is as slow as molasses even with decent Internet speeds at both ends - upload on the remote and download at the local end.

Filezilla seems reasonably secure with ssl

here's an example between two local linux machines

I haven't yet got windows connection to work yet -- not a windows expert so advice from anyone here would be welcome. I think I'm getting hosed up in the public key thing on Windows with SSL.

Note I want transfer From REMOTE WINDOWS TO LINUX (while logged on to LINUX) (not the other way around which is easy enough !!)

(Windows 10 PRO / Workstation -- not using Windows 10 HOME)
