Wow, I never thouht that FTP is such a security risk...
Should I disable standard FTP and force my customers to use safetp ?

Is there a rpm or pkg for RaQ3/4, because compiling it seems a bit
difficult.

I think you're missing the point. You should never, EVER log in to your RaQ
using FTP with the admin password as you're sending the admin in clear text.
Either use another user for FTP, then login as admin via SSH and move the
files, or use a tool like
