Any ftp server is going to be insecure when deployed on a mass scale. Using any un-encrypted tunnel with any daemon is obviously just silly unless of course it would be for a secured intranet only subnet. Wu-ftpd definently having its flaws yes, as most ftp daemons. Sftp is the way to go unless your on a secured subnet period. > > _______________________________________________ > clug-talk mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
