[cisco-voip] Problem wth freeSSHd SFTP backups on CCM 6.0

[Jonathan Charles]

OK, this is cool... but.

We need to get Cisco to support FTP... I don't care if they splay out
a giant warning calling us security heretics, but Cisco needs to
support this... backups are failing because there is not a reliable
backup solution for CallManager 5 or 6...

I just checked a customer I installed six months ago... there hasn't
been a backup done since August... why? Because it just stopped
working.

FTP is a reliable protocol and is universally supported...

How do we force Cisco's hand here?
