In article <eOsl0rJDIHA.4196@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>,
qbernard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx says...

bottom line is not the product, but rather how you deploy and configure it.

Actually, the problem is that after all of these years, that even
seasoned IT types misconfigure FTP as well as other services all the
time which leads to compromising the server. Few people misconfigure
FileZilla FTP and even fewer misconfigured FileZilla servers are used to
compromise the OS/Server.

I've seen hundreds of compromised Windows boxes because of Windows FTP,
not a single compromised FileZilla FTP server.
