Hi All,

If using the URLEncode function on an FTP server password and then connecting to that ftp server via a username and URLEncode-d password (see msg below), is the password safe from a network sniffer?

Thanks,

Mike

Subject: FTP user names and passwords -- secure or not?

Hi All,

When using Rev's FTP capabilities to upload a file via ftp with user name and password as in the syntax below:

put ... into URL "ftp://"&userName&":"&userPassword ...

is the user name and password completely secure in a distributed application providing the scripts are encrypted? Is it at all possible for someone to be able to tell what address, user name, and password are being used via another application such as a firewall?

Thanks,

Mike
