Yeah, I seem to recall battling with some M$ dweeb about 10-12 years 
back cause the only thing they could see that ftp was to be used for 
was piracy.  I gave him one of my more infamous one liners 
referenceing the incomplete job his parents did and hung up.

I don't doubt that it puked all over itself when it got the 
*B00000000(1/0) trigger string from an sz or rz program.  On 
purpose...
