File xfer from DMZ to internal network - Any recommendations?

[Guest Trust No One®]

Hi Folks,

 

I'm after recommendations for software that will allow secure transfer of

files and folders from Windows servers in a DMZ to hosts (windows) on the

internal network.

 

While there are plenty of open source clients (puty, Winscp etc) for the

Windows platform there seems a distinct lack of a server product, such as

OpenSSH on Unix. OpenSSH for Windows seems a bit messy as it runs under

Cygwin and no updates have been done since 2004.

 

I'm open to purchasing a commerical product. Ideally it should offer Active

Directory and/or LDAP integration, encryption, and allow scripting of file

transfers. It would be very useful if it was compatible with existing

windows clients such as putty, Winscp and filezilla.

 

Can anyone recommend such a product or point me to a resource that compares

the available offerings in this area?

Zebedee does this quite well, and with pre-shared keys is highly secure. You

need to redirect port 139 (or 445) via a loopback adaptor to achieve a

filesharing link, as the port itself cannot be changed.

 

Other alternative if the objective is manual getting of files, is Filezilla

Server and client in TLS mode.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the reply. I didn't realise there was a Filezilla Server, this

must be a relatively recent development - though it has been a while since i

visited the Filezilla website.

 

Since my post I've stumbled across FreeSSHD. This looks very promising but

while free is not Open Source, which is why Filezilla appeals.

 

There is also the option of compiling Portable OpenSSH under Cygwin on

Windows, but reading through the procedure made my eyes glaze over style_emoticons/

 

I'll have a look at the options you suggest.

 

Many Thanks!

At the time I set this up, FreeSSHD wasn't around. I don't think. I chose

Zebedee because it's a native Win app, whereas the SSH servers I could find

relied on Cygwin, which to me is a bit of a duct-tape solution.

 

One thing I can say is that on NT-based Windows the Zebedee process is

highly stable, I don't recall ever having it bug out. Provided the physical

link is OK it gives rock-solid connections too. It's admittedly not the

easiest thing to setup as the config-file settings don't behave quite as you

would expect them to, you need to understand their particular brand of

quirkiness.

 

FreeSSHD might possibly be a better choice, but of course the only way to

find out is to do some fairly lengthy testing.
