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.
