is lftp encrypting passwords?

[Don Tveter]

Hi,

I've been using plain ftp for a long time but I just became aware that 
it is not encrypting passwords.  I've been trying to find a clear answer 
as to whether or not your lftp program does that.
Will lftp to my website like so:  lftp dontveter.com encrypt the 
password or do I need to set more parameters?

Thanks,
