I really, really want to get a simple SFTP server here on the site so I took a look at this program. The irony is that the program is (so far) portable until you generate a cert. I say "so far" because I haven't tested it past the 30 day point, whereupon its behavior may change.
Otherwise, it writes one entry to "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID" which is no biggie.
Tested: Portable (tentatively and if you don't generate an SFTP cert)
Edit:
Additional notes:
1. Saves passwords securely (good)
2. Program updated very recently (very good, compared to many other FTP server tools available on the site)
3. Test system was a stripped-down WinXP SP2
Update:
The developers replied:
- "We use the Windows’s native CryptoAPI for SSL. If certificate is stored in the disk, it can be easily copied and less secure. For security reason, Microsoft chooses to store SSL certificate in the registry, which seems not possible to change."
Two points here:
- 1. The program does NOT use SSH and instead is another FTP over SSL tool, which strictly speaking is FTPS, not SFTP.
2. Still, the program is useful and simple and presumably you could generate a cert anywhere you go.
Should this program be added?
