Passive/Active FTP and LVS
Introduction
FTP is pretty much taken for granted, and is the often overlooked de-facto method for back-end updates and scripted data transference. In fact, I personally only ever use SFTP and if I need to automate such things I use rsync tunneled through SSH. So, it comes as no surprise that a lot of programmers (read that as developers) use what’s easiest and most prevalent, hence a lot of client applications using the far simpler FTP protocol.
