ftp and irc

For ftp I usually just use the command line, but I keep FileZilla around since there are versions for OSX, Windows and Linux. It supports ftp and sftp, and the release notes mention bugfixes for cases where identd is being used (so it probably supports it) but I haven't used it. It may not have a way to set identd responses directly, but since OSX is Unix you can run a native identd daemon (OSX doesn't come with one installed) and it sounds like FileZilla will use that value.

I don't use irc much, so xirc is good enough for me. No idea if it respects the identd settings or uses blowfish for channel-encryption.

 

Some things to look at. I've never used indentd.

Yabbah, how did you solve the problem with identd and ftp? I have some ftp servers that I can't connect to unless it sends the ident username, but I can't find any ftp program that can actually do that on a mac.

I already installed an identd daemon on my mac, and it's definitely working, but I've tried transmit and cyberduck, and neither of them have options for sending the ident username when connecting.

Any suggestions?
