Command Line Magic (climagic@mastodon.social)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 21:37:02 JST Command Line Magic Did any of you run an anonymous FTP server back in the mid 90s or earlier? Like at one of the big universities that had major FTP servers. Did putting your email address as your password actually get recorded somewhere? AFAIK the password was not logged in cleartext, so looking back, it seems pointless to have asked for that as if it was some form of ID.

I couldn't find one online, so made one. What do you think? Any significant issues?
