Re: [orca-list] OT: Two questions (Mate Q and picking a forum software)

[Jace Kattalakis <khalfang1366 gmail com>]

Already using what you suggested Matt for my home network....but I was 
referring to FTP clients since the domain I'm using is with a hosting 
provider and they are pretty firm that I can't just SSH into their 
systems and poke around really. I've tried the ftp from the terminal but 
unless I'm missing something I can't upload whole folders so I'd have to 
upload the files one at a time once I'vee downloaded everything from the 
domain one at a time.

No FTP's not that secure but I'll go with what the hosting provider 
tells me to do since if I don't they can kill off my domain for not 
following their instructions really. I've personally never had any 
security issues with FTP. Not saying there aren't any I'm just saying 
I've never run into any major ones
