In one of my assignments, we are trying to propose a solution involving
using ftp clients on unix boxes. I am trying to poll this group to see
how unix sysadmins typically look at ftp clients on a unix box.
1. First of all, Are ftp clients available by default on all main unix
platforms ? (Aix, Solaris, HPUX, Linux etc.)
2. Do sysadmins perceive using ftp clients on unix boxes as a security
threat of some sort.
Any comments in this area will be appreciated.
