I want to mount a remote network share as a folder in my vfs files. I've never done it before, but I've read up on how to configure my vfs to be able to do it. But since the client logs in to the ftp, but actually downloads from the 3rd party computer, what's to stop someone from sniffing the remote share name and IP and just browsing the share without logging into the ftp? Or does this work sort of like FXP, except in this case server gives a port command to both client and share server for the download or upload to commence?
