No. With FTP, the username and password are sent 'in the clear', ie,
not encrypted in any way. UrlEncoding is simply a way of passing data
around the 'net in (I think) 7 bit format, and is decoded in a
standard way that anyone can use.
AFAIK, there's no way to encrypt passwords when using FTP.

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
