We used that for a year or so.  About a third of the users
were able to make it work.  The rest of them couldn't install
the proxy properly, or had firewall problems or something.
The ones who did get it working complained of performance
problems.  And no Macintosh support.  Safe-TP is not
transparent.

What we need is the standard RFC2228 FTP with security
extensions that most commercial Web hosts offer.
It's a disappointment that woody doesn't have it.
