 Hi

 When opening Cyberduck, I am receiving the following message:


 {{{
 Unsecured FTP connection
 Password will be sent in plaintext
 Continue/Disconnect
 }}}


 What are the dangers of sending a password in plain text? Has something
 changed?
 This only occurred last week.


 Thanks

 Nigel

Comment:

 It means just what it says. The connection is not encrypted and the
 password is sent over the wire in plain text.
