I upgraded to Lion and now there is no FTP setting in System Preferences

By default now, Apple has disabled FTP in OSX Lion, even if you had it turned on before upgrading. 


You can enable FTP in Lion still by doing the following steps:

1...Open a terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)

2…Type in (OR copy/Paste)

 sudo -s launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist


If you'd like to turn off FTP again,  run Terminal and type:

sudo -s launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
