Incidentally I do transfer private business data over the network, encrypted, every single day, usually many times per day.

- ratsbane 19y agoI strongly agree with the article and with mdakin's point; scp is good but rsync is better. ftp is awkward, flawed, and obsolete. I am amazed that it is still used as much as it is. Perhaps the problem is largely due to Windows admins. ssh still doesn't ship with Windows and too many Windows admins aren't familiar with it.
