My router is an Asus rt-ac66u
Does any one know a more secure way of accessing a FTP sever . Basically I want to access my FTP server without anyone (ISP or a admin of a free/open wifi hotspot, such as a library or hotel) knowing what is being sent back and forth. At the most all they need to see is data moving back and forth. The don't need to see what files are going back and forth. I sometime forget my work at home and need to be able to access it. Currently i put everything on a my portable hard drive and transfer that back and forth. I almost had it stolen once. A cop happened to see the thief take my laptop bag and stopped him before he got too far.
I have heard of SFTP or FTP ssh. I know those are secure/encrypted but clueless on how to set that up. Is that something I can do from my router or is there software that encrypts it while sending data back and forth.
I'm not a noob at this but I am not an expert either. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
