Personally, I agree with Aly. If you check out putty, http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html There are free ssh / scp / sftp clients (Windows based). I've been using putty for about a year now, and it has some pretty (easy to use) tunnelling features as well. I tunnel absolutely everything over SSH. Plaintext in general - is obsolete :) Food for thought. ~Steve Quoting Aly Dharshi <aly.dharshi@xxxxxxxxx>: > > FTP is in the same class as TELNET... obsolete, redundant, less secure, > > etc... :) > > I think that with ftp+ssl it would be slightly more secure that it used > to be, aka plain text.
