Re: [Astlinux-users] FTP server, default to disabled for new installs ?
Thanks Darrick,
Polycom phones writing logs back via FTP is interesting, new web interface
support for FTPD_WRITE [ read/write, read-only ] might be handy for disallowing
writing in case you forgot to disable that feature in a phone.
We'll also be adding support for editing a custom /mnt/kd/vsftpd.conf and
restarting vsftpd via the web interface.

Lonnie,
Polycom phones still can use ftp for provisioning. Not only that, they can
write log files back to the central server which can prove helpful when
troubleshooting an issue on a phone. As long as there's a way to enable this,
I have no problem with it being disabled by default.

Greetings,
Since the beginning of time AstLinux has an FTP server enabled by default.
It's 2017, possibly it is time by default to disable the FTP server for new
installs ?
No change for existing installs.
Additionally we can add a FTPD_WRITE rc.conf variable "yes" or "no" to allow
read-only ("no") if desired. Defaults to "yes" for read/write to be backward
compatible.
At one time Polycom phones used FTP for provisioning, (correct?) is this still
the case ?
Regardless, plain text account passwords flying over the network should be
discouraged.
Comments ?
