Re: [TCLUG:14791] FTP

[Adam Maloney <adam@iexposure.com>]

Heh...no, I'm not going to run Frontpage, I was just mentioning the fact
that these huge fscking companies making millions every year hire some
lacky consultant who gets paid $175 / hour to maintain their website,
and this expert consultant uses frontpage.

No no no, I have a saying about people that want to use Frontpage and
insist on using FP extensions:

Adam's saying:
fsck 'em.
Adam's correlary:
down, not across

Your process sounds about the same as mine was with our NT
server...accept the fact that it's going to crash, be hacked, be slow,
explode, etc.  

My actual question was about FTP, not FP :)
