Re: Overzealous IT

I agree.  It would be nice if ifts client were secure.  Our campus is  
going to require secure ftp to access to any ftp servers on campus 
(which is a good move by the way) beginning next month.  That means that 
I will no longer be able to retreive Patrons loads directly with ifts.  
I will have to pull them over to the local machine with secure ftp and 
then  use Millennium to pull the files directly off the local machine or 
use a nonsecure ftpd on the local machine to make them available to ifts.
