FTP

The FTP service on bowl.fysh.org is principally as an additional means (beyond SCP or SFTP) for a user to get files onto the machine.

There is a small anonymous FTP area which does also allow uploads in /incoming but no-one but system administrators can get at the files in there via FTP (so the server can't be used as a dead-drop by undesirables). HTTP is a much better option if a bowl.fysh.org user needs to host a file for others to pick up without logging in.
