I understand that not using ssl, whenever you write to TiddlySpot, someone 
with such technical skills could your TiddlySpot password from the packages 
you're sending.

However, so long as you don't have a need to upload TiddlyWiki over the 
web, e.g. using TiddlySpot or store.php... you can simply upload a new 
version of it whenever you want, without any passwords or upload scripts 
other than those you enter in your ftp client, like FileZilla.

Best wishes, Tobias.
