As said previously, I'm not suggesting to put this thing on the
Internet. I'm talking about efficent file transfer within a network.
FTP does not have the encryption overhead of sftp. It's just a good,
mature file transfer method. Why not use it?
If you need a method to move data across the internet, use scp. It's
better than sftp, in my oppinion.
I hate it when people just say, "don't run FTP, it's not secure."
