I just recently set up a ftp site on FreeBSD 7.0 using pureftp.
The site is setup to use ftpes; ftp over explict TLS/SSL.

The problem is that most of our clients can use filezilla which supports the transport security layer BUT we have on e client that uses an automated system that only recognizes ftp.

So we now have a system that will use both ftp and ftpes.

We are pushing them to get into the 21st century (not likely) so the issue facing us is does their use of ftp put the entire site at risk. They are the only client using ftp and privilege separation is strictly enforced.
