I was more specific than you implied. Regular http doesn't send code
to my browser for me to execute locally. FTP executes a very specific
set of commands on my machine, with I can review and decide what the
security risks are. However java apps, javascript, and activeX
controls all run remote code local on my machine, if I allow it. There
are various exploits, some trivail and some that will take control of
your computer from you, have been written for some of them.
All connections from one computer to another carry some security
risks. Not all risks are the same and not all are acceptable to a
security admin.

we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only
unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American
public." [Theodore Roosevelt] 1918
