I just switched over to BlueHost.  When I want to do something about it, I'll contact you for instructions, if that's all right.

OK. Let me know when you're ready to start messin'. I'll telecommute.

I prefer SSH.

SSH also has many vulnerabilities and can leave your system vulnerable if the person installing it didn't take proper security measures when installing.  Also, hackers seek out the standard port 22 that most administrators configure SSH to use because they know where to look when trying to break-in.  Configuring your SSH to connect via a different port can cut down greatly on the number of daily attacks (the average dedicated server receives dozens of break-in attempts via port 22 daily).

So which do you prefer, Regi? SSH, SFTP, or don't know/don't care?

OMG we are ALL supposed to be scared to use FTP now?

What a fucking joke.

Yes Ignorance is bliss. Your right.  :

So are you saying if we use FTP we are somehow in "danger"?

And if so.... who are we in danger against?

If it's HACKERS then well... that's always the case.
So no BIG news there.  ???

Are you suggesting we should all stop FTPing
because of some hackers?
