Is ftp safe enough? If I understand it right, the password is sent within the URL (not encrypted)?
Heh. Well, that is something that shouldn't be blindly ignored, but as to how risky that is compared to other methods, I'll have to defer to others.
(I do know that of all the hacks I've seen *personally* in 20+ years of running web sites, none have been through cracking ftp details directly – all have been through exploits with vulnerabilities in stuff such as wordpress or custom php scripts. But that's just one person's experience and no reason to be complacent.)
Perhaps Richard Gaskin could chip in? I know he created an ftp-based tool or two very early on in the Revolution era.
