Yes. I'm a complete beginner for what concerns secure
file transfer. I hadn't realized that SFTP was
something different from FTPS. Now I knows at least
that :}

This is absolutely obscure to me. I don't know what a
key is... but I have to access a server via SFTP by
using an account that HAS a password.

I'm definitely going to check that link as I don't
know much about FTP via SSH and agents. As I said, I'm
completely new at this topic.

Thanks for you pointers
are you going to complain if I ask you more details in

Ciao
