Not always an improvement
I maintain some private links for a reunion, photos from the event and some photos from the old days. There are a few gigs worth and I run a little ftp server that I turn on from time to time -- it is off by default. I do not run it with a domain name. I create a link and name it and then email it to my old buddies, the link itself is the address to my ftp server which is numeric. I know, all non-standard but I really don't want to maintain a site and spend money just to serve up a few reunion pictures to maybe a few dozen people a few weeks during my life, so this type of security could make it more difficult for me and those who use the ftp facility I have available. Not a big deal really but it goes to show how idiots who phish affect us honest folk in unexpected ways.
