If security is a concern, you might want to use SecureFTP instead. It is part of the OpenSSH package. The sftp client is a part of most Linux and BSD (including MacOS X) distros and there are also sftp clients for MacIntosh http://ca.huji.ac.il/services/internet/ssh/macsftp.shtml and Windows http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ . > Hello all, > > I am thinking about setting up an FTP server to be used by myself and a > couple of friends.
