Ticket #2097 – Description
v1 v2 4 4 * They think that the only difference between the two is that SFTP is encrypted, and 5 5 * They are accessing it over localhost only, anyway, or they otherwise aren't worried about attackers snooping on or altering their files in flight, and 6 * Setting up LAFS-SFTPd requires an extra step more than setting up LAFS-FTPd to create akeypair.6 * Setting up LAFS-SFTPd requires an extra step more than setting up LAFS-FTPd — you have to create an ssh keypair. 7 7 8 8 In other words, I've observed that people are unaware of the limitations and problems in the FTP protocol and the LAFS-FTPd implementation, mentioned above and documented in [source:trunk/docs/frontends/FTP-and-SFTP.rst], even though we've documented them from the beginning. This is a lesson we've learned many times: it doesn't matter what the documentation says, people will continue to use a feature as long as it *appears* to work.
