SFTP Correction
The statement (FCM#113) that SFTP is not secure is incorrect. The blurb about it working only between Linux machines is also incorrect: Macs and Windows work as well, as do Android Phones (ES File Explorer). It is incorrect to state that this is only suitable for local intranet connections: SSH/SFTP was designed for secure use over unsecured (public) connections.
Also, you can connect _from_ Windows easily using WinSCP (Windows) or Filezilla (Linux, Mac, Windows). Connecting from a Linux to a Windows machine using SSH/SFTP is more difficult, but doable (using sshd in cygwin, or a commercial sshd server).

System76 Customer
In response to last month's Full Circle System76 article. I am responding because I use a System76 Lemur5 laptop computer.. When I bought it, I opted for the 240GB SSD. I am getting great battery life (8 to 9 hours) even with the WiFi on. I added an 8GB memory strip for a total of 12GB. I have had few problems with it. and. in most every case. the System76 technicians and I worked out the problems. As of this time. the laptop is working great. Good WiFi connectability, Bluetooth has finally settled down. and now all my BT devices pair/connect quickly, especially my BT speakers. My unit has an optical drive which I find invaluable. I see that the newer Lemur does not have an optical drive, which is a loss, as I often play DVD's or CD's, and I use it to rip my CD's to make ogg files for my music players – some call them MP3 players. I find my Lemur to be a good traveling computer with a good balance in size and operability. It gets about 2.5 times the battery life of my Acer One 10“ Netbook (3+ hours). I currently have Ubuntu 16.04 LTS installed, and, most likely, will wait for the next LTS version. The SSD is great as it boots up quickly and does not use as much power as a HDD.
