Why hasn Telusys supported FTP in the past?
FTP has been a notoriously insecure protocol with many serious bugs being announced on a monthly basis. Standard FTP servers provide no tools or methods that can control user or group access to Web site content in a complex environment such as the one Telusys employs that which contains dozens of integrated interdependent tools. Standard FTP does not provide sophisticated auditing of content management functions and does not provide any ability to support SSL or encryption. FTP typically requires separate FTP client software, instead of a Web browser, and does not integrate with the Web. Additionally, it is not aware of Web content and any special handling that it may require.
