File Encryption

[Henry]

Hi there,

Hope someone can offer some solutions to this scenario we have.

Numerous users will be sending files (mostly text) via ssl to a specific
directory on a webserver.

We would like these files (possibly 700 or so) to be stored on the
server in an encrypted format (must happen automatically) but we don't
want the users to have to do this.

Specified users will then login via FTP and download these files and
must be able to easily unencrypt them.

Any ideas as to what options we might have??

Thanks
Henry

Hi Henry

I recomment not setting up FTP on the Sever as this would
be a security risk, try downloading the files via SSL.

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately this is the mechanism the client
wishes to use to download the files.

The bigger issue is exactly how the uploaded files can be automatically
encrypted once they hit the server.
