Hello all!

Mozilla, Google and others have removed the ftp support from their web
browsers, and the workarounds with their latest versions doesn't work anymore.
This is a shame, it's very sad, but is the way things are going nowadays. In
fact, I can't browse my own Node and download my own file base using web
browsers. My public navigation is also affected by this lack of support.

In terms of feasibility, I can still access through FTP client to my Node, but
it seems insecure from outer places/connections since the login negotiation is
over plain-text. Let me know if I'm wrong.

Do you think it could be a good idea to ask Kim about some possible milestones
in the roadmap of BBBS development?

In short/mid term:

- To implement more security in the current ftp protocol implementation (TLS)?
- To implement the file downloading through HTTP/S when the session is web
based.

In a long term:

- To implement SSH (including the sftp subservice support) daemon for incoming
connections.

That's all, folks! :-D

A reveure!!
Enric
