Here is something interesting that Microsoft consistently failed to
fix and apparently, they don�t consider this a problem.
http://blog.washingtonpost.com/securityfix/2007/08/ftp_files_expose_web_site_cred.html

Note that the issue outlined also affects HTTP/HTTPS functionality as
it will disclose original the source of saved files.  A quick Google
search yielded a couple of FTP passwords, a number of Intranet sites,
localhosts, e-mail pages (with potential access further), account
setup information, etc.

Thank you Microsoft!
