[Imc-tech] ftp on file server?

[David Young]

We will be able to tell if the RealAudio server is running in too little
memory by monitoring performance. I don't think it will be a problem.

Because our network bandwidth is limited, an FTP server will put
negligible load on the server.

FTP servers have a pretty poor record for security.

It sounds like the Active software is so badly broken that we'd best put
all our effort into fixing that, first. It seems absurd that it discards
or refuses MP3 files at a certain number of kbps and not others. What
were the authors thinking?

Maybe we should do a review of the Active source code to find problem
points and figure out how to fix them?
