    Yes, files are pre-encrypted using shared passwords. Besides, stealing ad
    copy that's going to be published in a week is not all *that* lucrative. <grin>

    vsftpd for me. Speed, security, simplicity, and bundled with Red Hat and
    Fedora.

    Just as an FYI, yes, it does.

    I know what you mean. In order to cope with technically-inept clients, I'm
    thinking of moving to some sort of solution which starts with a web page
    where they can follow instructions and "click to insert" their files. I'm
    guessing all those options move me to HTTP anyway, right? At least then I
    can stick with HTTPS and get a decently secure connection.

    Continuing a broken connection (especially for larger downloads or uploads)
    has been a godsend to me for years, though.

    Cheers,
