Description

The .netrc files contain login information used to auto-login into FTP servers and reside in the user’s home directory. These files may contain unencrypted passwords to remote FTP servers making them susceptible to access by unauthorized users and should not be used. Any .netrc files should be removed.

Rationale

Unencrypted passwords for remote FTP servers may be stored in .netrc files.
