Lion FTPD Enable is a an Applescript Cocoa application to enable and disable ftpd on OS X 10.7 Lion and later. Beginning with OS X 10.7, Apple removed the GUI to control the ftpd service as it is seen as a security risk. Apple wasn't thinking about users who own scan-to-FTP-capable network printers and scanners. On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Sharing, then select Remote Login.

Of course, there is very little that could be done to actually attack your Mac via ftp. To my knowledge (which is admittedly limited), about all a malicious person could do is upload a file to your computer and then give people the link to download the file, resulting in all your bandwidth suddenly being consumed without your knowledge so that the other person can distribute a file for free.

You are mostly right with regards to the risk of enabling anonymous FTP. But there is always the possibility that there will be a security hole in the ftp daemon that Apple ships that could allow execution of arbitrary code. As of now, there are no known issues, but that doesn't mean one couldn't crop up at some point. And Apple is somewhat slow to address these types of vulnerabilities--in comparison to the Linux and *BSD worlds, that is. (They still do better than Microsoft in this regard.)

In OS X Maverick, the System Preferences setting to enable the FTP service is no longer available. As with other versions of OS X, however, the FTP service can be enabled by using the launchctl utility. In addition to enabling FTP, changes must also be made to the OS X firewall settings. To enable FTP in OS X Maverick. However, there is also a rather powerful tool built into a Mac that can allow users to use FTP, and SFTP protocols to interface with remote servers. In this article I will be detailing how you can use the Terminal (Mac) as an FTP or SFTP client, to do a variety of tasks on remote servers. Enable FTP Connections on Your Mac macOS has a remote connection option that allows other devices to remotely connect to your Mac. This connection works over both SSH and FTP protocols. Enabling this remote sharing option is easy.

Macos 10 15 catalina on unsupported macs. can somebody confirm that FTP mounts in the finder are now read *and* writable? I am still on 10.5. If I remember this false FTP implementation for the Finder is a bug since 10.0 ..
