@brandon220 said in SFTP and cipher strength:
@scottalanmiller I am not connecting to the server. I just set it up and have no trouble connecting to it and moving files around for testing purposes. One of our vendors will connect to it and upload files. We will then go retrieve them. THEIR client software is not playing nice with the ciphers that are the default in Fedora. They as a company are always behind the curve on being up-to-date. They just need it to work. I've been reading for hours on end to make it compatible for them with no luck.
Right, I guess that's the question, if they can't keep their software secure, time to have a "come to Jesus" talk with them. This isn't a hard thing to do, the most incompetent IT department would still have current ciphers for their SSH. This implies that they are behind by decades and are laughing that you are still paying them when they aparently fired their IT staff in the 1990s.
