"hackers"

[procrastronaut]

so I have an ftp server on my home computer, just so I can get files from lab and other places etc. It's handy for writing and stuff. But since it's a server, people who obviously consider themselves to be "hackers" or maybe hakkerzz or some shit see it and, since it exists, try to break in. If I were the government I could understand. Or

Go script kiddies go! At first I thought this movie was going to be about that movie Hackers (still Angelina Jolie's greatest performance?). Or maybe that episode of Ghostwriter where Julia Stiles is a hacker ("can you jam with the console cowboys in cyberspace?").

Seriously, leaving SSH open would probably be safer than running FTP. WinSCP is a good client for file transfer over SSH, or you can be hardcore and run rsync.
