Don't use FTP AT ALL. Period. Unless you're doing anonymous FTP. Please use SCP or SFTP to do your file transfers. And while you're at it, stop using Telnet and use SSH instead. Strong authentication is an absolute REQUIREMENT in this day and age, most especially if your computer is directly connected to the Big Bad Internet. I have no idea why people still insist on making use of these protocols, which should be considered obsolete and dangerous. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
