Vendors should restrict read access to their FTP upload sites in case there is 
sensitive data included. Dumps are a good example where customers cannot 
sanitize the file. There are some customers that will not send a dump because 
they cannot sanitize it. In those situations, you are forced to send diagnostic 
execs and work remotely.

I once had to FTP a dump to a vendor. I saw that the 
directory was set up to allow read without a password. I 
refused to send the dump until they fixed the security. It 
was a long time ago, and I can't remember the outcome, 
though I know they argued with me. I will admit that it's 
unusual to require a password for read but not for 
write/create.
