Solution to Verizon FTP Access

I've been in the hunt to try to find a solution to Verizon's decision late last year to block access to customer's Personal Web Space via File Transfer Protocol (FTP).

I've read through a number of these postings regarding the change in the functionality of FTP, as a means for accessing and/or deleting files from a customer's Personal Web Space, and both the original decision and the subsequent process that only allows customers to delete files from their Personal Web Space, seems totally unsatisfactory.

I've come to the conclusion that maybe Verizon customers should consider banding together and engaging in a little social activism and try to organize an Internet-based petition, to try to get this decision from back in August reversed. This effort at social activism was recently effective both in getting Bank of America to reverse their ill-advised $5 debit card fee, and even more recently in getting Verizon to reverse their even more ill-advised $2 "convenience fee ", for customers who pay their bills online directly through Verizon’s web interface. Since reversing this decision is likely a virtually no-expense programming change to unblock the prior FTP account access, I think we should go for it.

To that end, I've already staged an online petition for others to review and sign. Please consider forwarding this link anyone else who you believe might be inclined to endorse this petition request. Thanks!
