<br>It is shocking at the number of zillion year-old applications that STILL use plain ftp with open text authentication.<br>Much of this is from stupid code design that used custom written ftp "servers" instead of relying on the in-system ftpd that could be easily upgraded to include sftp capability.<br>

login account you gave others to your servers and hope they’re smart enough to jail any they give you on theirs. The login session is still in clear text but anyone that hacks the login only sees gobbledygook so long as they don’t have the keys and the jail
prevents them from seeing anything else.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
