Well, opening the firewall for FTP is a security whole no questions about it.
I'm not an expert on firewalls and I'm sure there might be better ways of
solving this,
But my point is that the current setup with the checkbox "Open ports in
Firewall" is misleading (especially for those who knows even less than I about
ports and firewalls) since it gives the impression that the ftp will work with
the firewall when in fact it will not. So it's a false simplicity
If there are strong feelings about this can I then suggest that this tickbox is
removed and instead replaced by a information message saying that the firewall
needs to be manually configured to allow for FTP traffic?
At least then the user will not be under the impression that the FTP will work.
