vsftpd + SSH?

Does anyone have experience in creating an ftp server with vsftpd and then client connections through SSH? Basically, does it work well?

Though it has been a couple of years, I set up that very same thing on Fedora Core 2. Worked like a charm.

Brilliant. I have already installed vsftpd remotely through ssh terminal, gonna work on the user access and accounts later, this ftp server will have no anom user, its not even for public use. For the client to work over port 22 is a real bonus for me.

Have you thought of using SCP?

Excuse my inexperience sprkymrk but i thought scp was just for unix to unix file transfers? My scenario will have windows clients potentially uploading files.

Cheers and thanks for your help,

Putty for Window includes PuttySCP (pscp.exe). But if end users are involved, you're right a regular FTP client will work better.

BTW - From the sound of your posts you seem quite experienced.
