clarification: re: ssh
Excuse my stupidity. Maybe I'm asking about sftp access to zope.
I've been advised by security people on my campus to shut down normal ftp and telnet access to my server if possible and to use sftp and ssh for access. I currently sometimes ftp things to zope. I do not have any packages installed that give zope file system access, so I don't really think zope's ftp port would be a security hazard (and my own view is that my machine does not have any national security type stuff on it, so that this request may be going a bit far).
Suggestions appreciated.
Robert: Secure Zope connections have been exercising us of late too. You should find some pointers in http://www.zope.org/Members/glpb/dwhowto This doesn't directly solve your ftp security problem - but see the links after the "Useful to know" bit. The overall recipe does offer an alternative way of keeping your security people happy, however.
