Avoid a 'download' problem with iDisk and media files
Authored by: osxpounder on Mar 10, '05 02:25:19PM

If security is an issue [perhaps the AIFF file should remain private between business associates], you can do this, or something similar, to permit a SFTP transfer:

- create a user on your Mac
- place file in user's Public folder [you might need to change permissions on the file so that anyone can open it]
- ask your client to download Fugu
- give your client your Mac's IP address, and the user and pass you created for your client
- client connects with Fugu and downloads the file

What do you think, folks? Crazy? Useful?

When will Apple put sftp into the finder? That's what I want to know.

Great, but I didn't mention before that my client is on Windows, unfortunately. We Mac users sometimes forget…

That's why PureFTP is so cool. It's much more configurable than the one that comes with OS X in the sharing pref pane
