I know the Mac side well, enabling FTP there is no problem... Its

on linux you could just use a web browser and point it at your mac
using a url like ftp://
ip_address_for_your_mac_from_sharing_preference
You could also enable the Web Server for your Mac, and just drop
the files into your Site folder. I personally believe this is more
secure than enabling FTP (plain-text passwords???), especially if
you are running on a wireless network. Plus the Web Server allows
only read only access within the Site folder only... FTP could
expose your entire hard drive.
I thought apple used sftp as the server not ftp ?????????
Either way I agree with you
FTP is insecure unless you can specifically control how, when, where
it's used
