Use FTP for faster file sharing with Windows
Authored by: osxpounder on Feb 09, '04 11:53:56AM

Just a note: don't leave an ftp server running on your PC when you aren't using it [for security reasons]. It'd be best to run an ssh daemon on the PC, if not some other secure remote login application, so that you can log in, start your ftp server, then get on with the business of transferring files ... and then, when you are finished, quit the ftp server.

Of course, if you're a PC security expert, you may feel differently. This note is for those among us who aren't security experts and just need to keep it safe.
