I call BS.

I have monitored traffic on a switched network by unplugging RJ45 and re-connecting into a hub and connecting hub to switch between two networks to monitor port usage. It is NOT impossible. Users could also get access to a mirrored port on the switch.

don't trust it. For those of you that would just tell me to shut the hell up about the users/security, I can't take the risk with this kind of data being transferred. I can't say what it is, but I can assure you that its important enough to encrypt it on the server,

Then why use a protocol that sends passwords as cleartext to transfer data that is this important? Why not use scp or sftp? Is this FTP server accesable from the outside world? If so, what's to keep Ivan from sniffing out the cleartext from the outside?

But my real question is this: What is Win98 doing on a high-risk network? Isn't that a high-risk to begin with?

What's the stat? 80% of hacks come from inside the network with employees?
