could just get him to run an FTPServer...


Put it out of your mind. An FTP server on port 21 has a life expectancy of

Actually, I was thinking of EFTP [a server and client, matched!]
http://www.encrypted-ftp.com/buy.html
I swear it was free last time I looked, still cheap though.

Good part is -
pick your own port, and
IP ban after X-badloginattempts
Still occasionally attacked when I ran this, very brief though, all
logged.

[did I say that out-loud? I mean it WOULD HAVE worked
if I'd've been evil enough to try it...]

still I reckon to risky to espose your HD here...
