FTP distant filesystem
You are currently reading a thread in /g/ - Technology
Hi guys,
I bought a cheap offshore FTP backup storage, but it's just an FTP without any way to securise it.
But I got a VPS... And I mount the FTP on it with CurlFtpFs.
But I don't feel safe with it. I want crypto everywhere. So I was thinking about create a big empty file on this ftp, and use it as an encrypted filesystem in a file.
Do you think it's a good idea? Do you think the russian hosting will not being mad about this usage if it's works?

They don't give a fuck.
Do it OP.
SFTP?

That's transport encryption. OP wants content encryption.
Problem with your big file is that you'll need to upload the whole thing with every commit.
Not sure what to suggest though

Use duplicity. Encrypted differential backups.
