I wish software would stop supporting FTP. It's a clear text protocol. Everything is sent in the clear text. Anyone on the wifi hotspot, any one listening at your ISP, all the way to your host knows exactly what you're uploading or downloading.<p>Someone asked for FTP support for our product and I said no way. We'd support SFTP, but not FTP, and neither really should anyone else. People don't want FTP, they want to transfer their files, but they're lazy and don't understand the security implications and they're going to keep using FTP until software changes.
I would recommend against buying this app. Here's what will happen, as happens with every bit of Panic software -<p>1. You'll buy it<p>2. You'll do a quick test case - yup, it works<p>3. You'll love it because it works and looks damn good<p>4. Panic will never enhance the app<p>5. Panic will rarely, if ever, fix bugs in the app<p>5a. Panic will release "bug fixes" to reset their poor app store rating without actually fixing any bugs<p>5b. Panic will give you a craptastic recipe for clam chowder in their update notes<p>6. Panic will never properly support newer iOS versions or devices<p>7. Panic will release version 2.0 - MAYBE adding a trinket of functionality and possibly more bugs
What a weird world, where giving a networked device the ability to upload, download, and manage files is described as a "super power". Crazy.
Any views on the new Panic Sync [1] functionality being rolled out with this app?<p>Presumably entrusting your passwords/keys to a third party is a bad idea, regardless of any assurances given?<p>[1] <a href="http://panic.com/sync/" rel="nofollow">http://panic.com/sync/</a>
Wait so will this allow me to download music to my phone from my <i>ahem</i> cloud server?<p>edit: e.g. circumventing plugging my phone into my computer, launching itunes, etc.
Will this allow me to remotely handle FTP transfers from say a server to my laptop while I am at work? Sometimes I would like to have control of transmit from my phone
