It's no use the criminal is handcuffed if he's not locked up in jail (or on the way to one) - it's a matter of time for him/her sawing/picking them off. > I also think that a flame war might be brewing The objective was to get people like you and Evans to think about it. I don't care if people like silky just won't hear any reason, opinion or whatever, on the matter. Ever since he wrote "there's no discussion", I realized he's a lost case. ---- > exactly how wrong their thought processes are.

Kind of reminds me of Windows XP's connection troubleshooter; "Please visit the interwebz and we'll help you connect to the internet." Just because you signed up on FD and have a fancy blog doesn't mean you're any better. Really. I wonder how many under-paid chinese hackers even own a wordpress account - and we know how they seem to find 0days which we don't find with our fancy tools. > the issue.The game now (or at least here, on this list) is to try and > steer people away from FileZilla if it doesn't change. Anyones opinion And that is my point exactly. While I'm shouting out loud, let me ask a question: How many FD readers are dumb enough to share their harddisks with the world? None? So what is the problem in using FileZilla personally? I mean, anyone which takes security seriously, would be encrypting their drive in the first place.
