Fortunately, at a university where I work, there are not so many external

ISC offered rsync for selected IP addresses. This would allow us to
continue to operate mirrors that can then be accessed via FTP and HTTPS.

The problem is now FTP looks like a high security risk.

I just got my CompTIA Security+ designation on 29 Augst 2024
and
Doing a (ISC)^2 CISSP and you have to belive
FTP is a security falw.

I say NNTP is more secure that HTTP(s)) .
