That is certainly something to consider. Myself and one other will be
the only folks using this machine for storage that will require ftp
access so your point is taken. SFTP is my likely choice after a bit of
reading to ensure compatibility with our tasks.
While it's also a prime example of not getting the help you asked for,
instead of ftp, or in some cases sftp, you might look at webdav also
depending on your needs.
I use it because it doesn't require a local system account, can be
permissioned via apache, and is very customizable.It helps us out
locally because it's part of http 1.1, so there's no need for added
firewall ports being open, no proxy adjustments, etc.
My favorite way to move files is with rsync over ssh since it does the
right thing about not replacing existing files until the copy is
complete, is more efficient sometimes, and works with windows/cygwin
too. Windows users sometimes prefer winscp, though.
But back to DNS - I run a really old and ugly script after updating zone
files that builds the reverse zones, commits the changes to a cvs
repository, and restarts named to pick up the changes. Is there some
modern equivalent for this operation?
