Unless you're logging in remotely, I doubt that the FTP daemon poses much of a security risk; and those security risks would be similar to running an AppleShare file server (since that is also accessible via TCP/IP, at least in 10.x). In either case, you can enhance security by running both on a private IP address (e.g. 192.168.x.x). How you would configure that in OS X is beyond me, though it usually appears to be specific to the daemon. > In theory it would be ok in in a pinch, but it's > still not any easier (or faster) than Sneakernetting w/ Zips.
