FTP into pfSense box?
-
As a new user of pfSense (snapshot versions) I cant seem to find information about hos to FTP into your router box to manipulate files, this is possible right?
-
don't think so. better and safer to use scp.

-
If you are using windows as a client, take a look at WinSCP, if you are using linux, "man scp".
-
FileZilla is another good SCP program, and some ssh clients (putty, securecrt) and include scp utilities.
-
Normal, pFsense hasn't a FTP server included.
The question has been asked many times, and answered many times because why not.
If you guys do a 1+1 (SSH+FTP) - see the messages above then you have the solution : SFTP !!
Works great with FileZilla or SmartFTP or …! These support de SFTP protocol.
Just remember to use port 22 (SSH) - the user name will be 'root' (not 'admin') ans select the LAN IP of your pfSense box. Use also the SFTP protocol and you'll see !
