Verizon Kills Free FTP Access

Posted by timothy on from the would-you-like-to-check-a-bag dept.

First time accepted submitter JP205 writes "Verizon recently disabled FTP access for its Internet customers who use its proprietary service to build their personal websites. It turns out that if you want FTP access restored, Verizon is happy to grant it to you for an extra $6 a month."

    Since this article is just an advertisement for Verizon's hosting service (otherwise, what do we really care about Verizon Webhosting?), I'd like to take this chance to advertise my company, Suso Webhosting, where we have been offering SSH/SCP/SFTP access since day one and will continue to do so. Use SLASHDOT in the referral field and you'll get 20% off.
