XCOPY via ftp is an invitation for a hack! I am concerned about the FrontPage and FTP publishing methods. I believe both use clear text passwords over the wire. Worse is the default ftp user is the same user/pswd that opens the control panel (Administrator). Packet sniffers are free, and many have the ability to steam to grep, so hunting for logins isn't a high-tech challenge. A sophomore CS college student can figure it out. Any chance of supporting scp or ssh. Windows versions availablein freeware and inexpensive commercial products. discountasp.net must embrace this technology before one worries about the client piece. http://sully.faculty.tcnj.edu/courses/cmsc360/weekly_notes.htm http://sully.faculty.tcnj.edu/courses/cmsc497/supplemental/ssh.htm (The College of New Jersey) http://www.cites.uiuc.edu/security/scp.html (University of Illinois) regards, Walt Sully
I am using the latest version of Snitz forum. I think even discountAsp was using this sometime back. So this may not be the reason.
