Rex:
Your response to my post in the TCC/LE forum explains why you don't like FTP access. Would using ftps be better to avoid/reduce attacks?
Is downloading new builds from the http site possible using TCC's IFTP and COPY commands? One of my reasons to explicitly download installers (instead of using the upgrade feature) is so I don't have to repeat it for every system, reducing my internet usage. Another (for TCC/LE only) is that I can download from TCC, without actually running LE. Last but not least, downloading from the http using most browser you need to manually specify the local target directory, or use a single shared directory for all downloads, and then move the files to wherever you want to save them. If a new build is available before I moved the previous build, I have another step to perform.
Downloading from the FTP site allows a single COPY command to download all that's newer than my last download, instead of searching the forums for announcements and compare them with my download history; etc., etc. Obviously, this is most significant when I have not had access to the JPsoft site for a more extended interval, due to vacation, travel, illness, etc. For all these reasons I hope you will continue to maintain the FTP site...
