[Year 12 IT Apps] FTP to school internal server...?

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Part of the issue is that native FTP uses plain text passwords, a security
issue you should be moving away from and kind of why they don't support
this. There are some other options such as SFTP that do not have this
problem.
