Shelling out would require implementing yet another protocol in Vedit, Telnet. Telnet is quite a simple protocol, but it would not be so useful these days, since fewer and fewer internet service providers allow shell access.

I would recommend FileZilla. It is a very good FTP program (supports secure transfers, resume uploads/downloads, Keep Alive system, etc.), and it is totally free even for commercial use.

Thank you for the suggestion.
FYI - We use SecureCRT and SecureFX which are a bit pricey ($150 per user), but which our programmers find very convenient, especially the tabbed interface for connecting to many remote machines.

Thanks Pauli,

for a rather detailed answer to my uninformed question.

I certainly do appreciate it.

Thanks Pauli:

I have another uninformed question: Should I use FileZilla as a standalone program or shall I try to combine it with the ftp feature of the forthcoming Vedit 6.2 ?

Actually, my situation is slightly diferent. Here are the details: When I launch FileZilla I get the following welcome message from my server:
SSH-2.0 Open SSH_3.9.p1.
Then after 5 tries it times out.

When I asked one of my colleagues for help, he recommended to use Winscp, as he does. So, I also downloaded winscp from Sourcforge. This works like a charm for me!

Thanks again for everything.

-peter

Peter:

FileZilla is a standalone program and has nothing to do with VEDIT's
FTP feature.
Don't even think of combining their transfer features. It doesn't make sense.

What kind protocol do you try to use for transfer?

With VEDIT only standard FTP will work.
FileZilla is able to do FTP and SFTP (by integrated SSH code from
Putty.)

WinSCP is a nice tools too.
But as far as I know it only supports secure transfers (SCP and SFTP)
but no standard FTP!

Thanks for clarifying the issue. This is exactly the point that I was missing!

Thanks again,

I can't check this since I don't have access to any server that uses SSH. However, at least you need to configure FileZilla for your server.

In the Site Manager, you need to select correct server type. The default is FTP, which does not work with SSH server. Maybe in your case, the correct setting would be "SFTP using SSH2".

FileZilla documentation can be found at
http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/documentation/

Once again, thanks for everything.
