   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!!
