Thank you Joe I thought as much, but chose to pick the collective mind.

Secure FTP is a newer, specific protocol, requiring the use of SSH (a security protocol) to provide a secure layer under the file transfer. There's a reasonably good explanation in wikipedia, at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol>. It is not supported by standard FTP clients, such as that included in Ariel. If Ariel supported secure FTP there would be the option to select it as part of the set-up preferences. By contrast, the store-and-forward and store-and-retrieve servers provide a modicum of security by allowing you to operate Ariel behind a firewall, only opening a single port while you are actually retrieving requests from the receiving server (store-and-forward requires that single port to be open all the time).
