Speaking for myself, like some others here, I would find the removal of ftp inconvenient, and if it is removed, please could we have it in an easy to install and configure port. We have a number of apps that transfer data, and legacy issues mean that it's hard to transfer to another protocol. It's not sensitive data so the security concerns aren't an issue to us. thanks, Gerald, On Sat, Apr 3, 2021 at 9:40 PM Ed Maste <emaste@freebsd.org> wrote: > I propose deprecating the ftpd currently included in the base system > before FreeBSD 14, and opened review D26447 > (https://reviews.freebsd.org/D26447) to add a notice to the man page. > I had originally planned to try to do this before 13.0, but it dropped > off my list.
