external drive w bultin SFTP
I'm looking for a way to get physical diversity for backup storage. There
are friends and family who would gladly allow me to put a box in their house, but I don't want to mess with their computers and all the ongoing headaches of that. So my notion is to have an external hardrive with an ethernet interface and a built-in secure FTP server. In this way, I could hang the box onto their LAN, but not have to fiddle with their computer. And, it needs to be relatively inexpensive. There are a couple of such inexpensive devices, such as from TrendNet, but the ones I've found have an FTP server, but don't support secure FTP (e.g., SFTP). Can anyone point me to any such products? Many thanks ... |

Why you need SFTP in the network which is physically under your control?

external drive w bultin SFTP
Because:
1. The server would be on other people's premises, and the data is private and I don't want unauthorized people viewing data on it or adding their own data. 2. I can't trust how well they maintain a firewall. 3. I'd be communicating with it over the internet to reach the LAN on which it would reside. Can anyone provide useful information about the original question below? Thanks. "Maxim S. Shatskih" wrote in message ...
