Re: security experts please explain
said by kracksmith  :does somebody just run a certain sniffer monitoring program on a public IP ftp server, as easy as that? No it is not that easy...but it could be as simple as arp poisoning on the same server's subnet to more sophisticated attacks against one of the hops in which the traffic flows...or...maybe, wire tapping the media 
If your boss concern is performance, you could use IPsec to encrypt only, at least, the FTP's control/command channel (port 21), all data would still be sent in clear trough the data channel... |
