      MSGID: 2:343/107.0 81298e2b       TZUTC: 0100       CHARSET: LATIN-1       Hello all!              Mozilla, Google and others have removed the ftp support from their web       browsers, and the workarounds with their latest versions doesn't work anymore.       This is a shame, it's very sad, but is the way things are going nowadays. In       fact, I can't browse my own Node and download my own file base using web       browsers. My public navigation is also affected by this lack of support.              In terms of feasibility, I can still access through FTP client to my Node, but       it seems insecure from outer places/connections since the login negotiation is       over plain-text. Let me know if I'm wrong.              Do you think it could be a good idea to ask Kim about some possible milestones       in the roadmap of BBBS development?              In short/mid term:              - To implement more security in the current ftp protocol implementation (TLS)?       - To implement the file downloading through HTTP/S when the session is web       based.              In a long term:              - To implement SSH (including the sftp subservice support) daemon for incoming       connections.              That's all, folks! :-D              A reveure!!       Enric              --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Toy-5        * Origin: Eye Of The Beholder BBS - The Fidonet's Corsair (2:343/107)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 14/0 15/0 16/0 19/10 90/1 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/130 131 129/305 330 153/7715 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 229/110 317 424 426 452 550 664 700 230/0 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 266/512 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 301/1 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/119 219 319 322/0 757 335/364 341/66 200 234 342/200       SEEN-BY: 343/107 396/45 423/81 633/280 640/1384 712/848 4500/1       PATH: 343/107 341/66 221/6 1 320/219 229/426           |
