    You are right, there are certainly some security issues, that's why I
    would suggest to start the daemon only when you need it and give your
    IP, username and password only to GOOD friends. I just wanted a quick
    and somewhat secure way to give a friend access to some files. It
    should be saver than FTP anyhow. But thanks for the input.
