In my last job we had a Solaris based ftp server. It had a Microsoft virus infected file that was distributed to dozens of our clients' pc's before we caught it. Our clients complained our ftp server was infected. Were they right? In any event, we started runnning a virus scanner. That virus scanner would have caught the infected file.

So depending on your home network and what interactions can occur among your home systems, I might agree with your Mom. Just because you're immune doesn't mean that you should not care if you bring infected files into your home.

bup-web

bup-ftp(1)						      General Commands Manual							bup-ftp(1)

NAME

       bup-web - Start web server to browse bup repositiory

SYNOPSIS

       bup web [[hostname]:port]

DESCRIPTION

       bup web	starts	a web server that can browse bup repositories.	The file hierarchy is the same as that shown by bup-fuse(1), bup-ls(1) and
       bup-ftp(1).

       hostname and port default to 127.0.0.1 and 8080, respectively, and hence bup web will only offer up  the  web  server  to  locally  running
       clients.  If you'd like to expose the web server to anyone on your network (dangerous!) you can omit the bind address to bind to all avail-
       able interfaces: :8080.

EXAMPLE

	      $ bup web
	      Serving HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8080...
	      ^C

	      $ bup web :8080
	      Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0:8080...
	      ^C
