It's a question of cost/benefit. Ftp can be great on a LAN that's protected. Very handy. It's just that anon ftp access from the 'Net is the most risky way to go. It depends on what you *really need* to provide, service-wise, and how to deliver that in the most secure fashion. You have alternatives: teach your users to use scp, or set up an ftp download area just for authenticated users, etc, etc. -- Bob Bernstein at http://www.ruptured-duck.com Esmond, R.I., USA
