ftp:// is too dangerous
Authored by: dankogai on Oct 27, '02 11:05:33AM

Further analysis has shown that ftp:// via cmd-K is still too dangerous. mounting ftp is implemented as the command below;

/System/Library/Filesystems/ftp.fs/csmount -m /Volumes/server.some.where ftp://server.some.where/path/to/dir/

The problem is this command never dies even when you dragged the mounted volume to the trash. The only way to kill the command above is;

sudo killall csmount

IMHO Apple should've deleted /System/Library/Filesystems/ftp.fs when they shipped Jaguar. I hope Apple fixes ftp:// to the extent they can proudly document it.
