FTP

Author: Walter (193.121.251.---) Date: 12-04-01 15:34 What is the risk of opening the ftp port of your firewall ? By opening this port, are you presenting hackers a highway of opportunities to hack your system of is this statement an overreaction ?

Author: Firewall-Net (---.abo.wanadoo.fr) Date: 12-20-01 00:45 In general opening a port is a new risk. FTP protocol is somehow unsecure as password are no encrypted. But this is not a problem fore an anonymous ftp (beware to chroot your ftpd). The second problem is to allow connexion to the firewall machine itself. This is not a very good idea. Chryjs
