Colin, just for clarity, are you saying that the free ftp software WITH userID and pwd seems okay to you? Or am I misunderstanding your meaning?

In a lot of cases, such as most free software, the file is available to everyone in the world by anonymous ftp, requiring no password or user ID. When dealing with open source over anonymous ftp, security, or even se3curity, is not an issue. Maybe ftp'ing secret files from one computer to another is not so good. In many cases encryption will help. Like everything else, the user needs to think about what he is doing, and use whatever precautions are appropriate for the task in hand.
