Someone recently told me that using FTP is dangerous because it does not encrypt the username or passwords sent. I've heard the secure version of FTP called both FTPS and SFTP, I don't know which is correct, but is there a way to use it with FlashFXP?

Thanks

Using ftp means there is a minuscule possibility (assuming some one is already monitoring your Internet connection) that your username and password may be compromised.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being most) it would rate at -100 of things that concern me.

I suppose you need to claim that from your current web host. Work together on the issue
Good luck

Sometimes your FTP can be hacked through the web site (scripts) holes. Much more important to keep all things in order on web site (have latest updates) instead just of worrying about FTP encryption

You just need to contact your hosting provider and ask for secure connection details (if it's available).

i think you could visit the website of your hosting,there are some explanation in kownledge..

If you do not like FTP you always can use file manager which is comming with control panel. In any case the operation will go through https protocol
