Perception among who? It's no harder to set up a little web server on a VPS than a little FTP server. I've done both and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has. I suppose that since nobody cares about FTP any more, you're not going to get the complaints about an unencrypted FTP server that you do about a non-SSL web server, but even there, getting and installing a cert with certbot takes only a minute or two. On the third hard, most VPS setups come with ssh already set up, so you get scp for free. R's, John
