I just found that old server and decided to move the service onto a new host (and non EOL distro) to integrate it with the rest of the infrastructure (and get security updates). I will suggest to the clients to use another service that is less of a security problem. > Or are they using FTPS? So far I found no client that reliably supports FTPS. Especially nothing that comes with the OS "by default" (I tried Chrome, Firefox, KDE/Dolphin). Can you suggest one? Kind regards, Dennis Schridde
