RE: HOW: SSL/SSH connection ??

SSL and SSH are different thing. SSH uses SSL to secure/encrypt data.

There is no quick and easy way to programmatically implement secure
communication in Windows. Implementing secure communication using SSL in
C/C++ requires a lot of work and a good understand of SSL but the effort is
worthed it because there are still not many programmers who can write secure
programs. O'Reily has a very good SSL book. The book also has sample codes on
how to implement secure communication with SSL.

Traditionally, SSH is for Unix based systems but there is also a free SSH
client that works in Windows. It's called PUTTY. However, PUTTY only
implements the client side of SSH (ie. you can only initiate secure
communication to a secure server).

Although SFTP has commands that look like the traditional FTP command, under
the hood SFTP and FTP are completely different. You cannot take a ftp program
and change it to a SFTP program without major rewriting the code.

Implementing secure communication is much easier in Java because there are a
lot of built-in classes for secure communication in Java.

In short, you have to do a lot of study before you can write production
grade SSL programs in C/C++.
