[FX.php List] [OT] Problem trying to use mount_afp w/ FileMaker Server

[Dale Bengston]

AFP is alive and well under OS X. I don't know where you're getting  
your information.

I will once again put my plug in for SSH/SFTP as an alternative,  
rather than activating any Windows networking protocol. My local tech  
guy says Samba is not the most secure networking protocol out there.
