Have you heard of Hulu?
If yes, that's great! But, don't skip this article, as it tells you how to watch Hulu outside USA.
If no, just read on...

Hulu is a video on demand service launched by NBC, FOX and their cable networks (US). The site was launched on 12th of March 2008.

Features:

• The soaps/shows/MOVIES available on this site are absolutely free and 100% legal.
• Ad-supported streaming.
• Users have the choice to view the ads ahead of the movie or in between the movie.
• Superior Look 'n' Feel.
  
• Quality of the video is richer than that of other sites (earlier there was divx, but they have shut down their site).
  
• Hulu is currently available only to US visitors due to copyright issues with other countries. Soon this site will be available to viewers all over the world. (But, until then viewers outside US need not be disappointed... just read on).
  

Viewers outside US, who cannot watch Hulu videos can watch now by using Hotspot Shield.

Sftp: Alternative to FTP on UNIX

In general, FTP protocol is used to transfer files from one system to another in a network or on the internet.
FTP service is available by default on a Unix box but on some windows machines we have to enable it. To learn more on how to set up FTP server on windows click this.

In some rare cases, where FTP is disabled on a Unix box and only a secure shell is operational, sftp comes handy.
SFTP does the same work as FTP but works on a secure shell.

So, hereafter you can use SFTP if FTP is not available :)
