I use wu-ftp. Your system probably allows user ftp and perhaps anonymous ftp. There's also kerberized ftp. I imagine that there may even be ftp that can auth users via ssl certificates. > Nope, I use ssh/scp for all my file transfers. > > > > > I'm trying to setup FTP on my Web server so that I can update my Web > > server.

I would say more people are familiar with ftp than ssh. Your system could still be vulnerable even with ssh. dsniff, ssl exploits... You can configure a guest ftp and anonymous ftp, where the user only sees your chroot area of the system. brian -- Brian Lavender http://www.brie.com/brian/ _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
