This will be my final post in this thread, as its glaringly apparent
that you have no clue what you're even talking about, much less,
doing.....

Nothing, but you conveniently left out the part where you claimed that
you had no way of controlling SSH access since it comes from all/any
IPs. This is how you control SSH access.

I'm not sure if you're asking that out of ignorance or sarcasm. Either
way, its a rather poorly worded question that i have no intention of
answering.

Honestly?

Another newsflash: This is a Linux mailing list. I dont' give a rat's
ass about the fools trying to setup a firewall in windoze.

Yes, its called SSL encryption. Even M$ had the common sense to include
that feature. Apparently you're no more familiar with M$ products than
you are Linux products.

Name 1 web browser not capable of doing SSL encryption. Please tell me
that you're not truly this ignorant.

Anonymous FTP (which has no real password) or user/pass? If you truly
cared about your biggerst customer then you'd require them to use scp
instead of FTP. So not only are you endangering your own network,
you're endangering your biggest customer's network. Somehow I doubt
that they'll remain your biggest customer for long once their network is
broken into via your own.

When ignorance is as great as yours, i'm sure you have a rather active
imagination.

Apparently not when you're not even aware of SSL encryption that comes
by default in every mainstream browser in existence.

If this is what you know after doing "alot of work on it", you have
several decades of work ahead of you.

Please find a dictionary and look up the meaning of the word 'arrogant'.

You don't even know what you dont' know. THat's about the lowest level
of ignorance imaginable.

Good to know. I'll make a note to avoid your company's services at all
costs if they think your knowledge level is adequate for your job.
