[j-nsp] ftp.juniper.net

@Tom: Oh sure, hardlinks are rife and a HTTP 301 might be a bit crude.

I favour what Chris suggests.

Getting rather too involved in this no doubt ... but I wonder how we are all
defining 'deprecated'.
My dictionary says 'in the process of being replaced' --- which I take to
mean (employing the principle of least surprise) that during the process it
will work until the replacement arrives, at which point it will be
decommissioned, retired, removed, dereferenced. For me that means not just
firewalling off 21/tcp or stopping the service, but clearly stating in the
documentation that $thing is dead.

Surely I'm procrastinating with such pedantry here. =)  :D

Just erase the rest of the KB after this text:
NOTE:  Use of FTP is deprecated, large file uploads for cases should instead
use the SSH FTP (SFTP) process described in KB23337 - How to upload large
files to a JTAC Case.

Problem solved.
