 To Whom It May Concern,

 Hello. I just reported an issue I was having regarding a Keychain Alert
 Message. I have another issue that started at the same time (a few months
 ago). Since I've been using Cyberduck 4.4.3 or shortly after, whenever I
 try to log in to any of my FTP accounts I've been getting the message:
 "Unsecured FTP connection"
 then under that it says:
 "Password will be sent in plaintext."
 Then I'm given the options: Disconnect, Continue
 I always choose "Continue" though I don't feel this is safe and I'd like
 to clear up this security issue.
 Am I having this issue simply because I'm using FTP connections and not
 SFTP? Or is this a different issue? Is there a way to make my connections
 secure?
 I found this related issue:
 https://trac.cyberduck.io/wiki/help/en/howto/ftp
 but in my message I'm not given the option to switch to FTP-SSL.

 Also, I noticed this ticket:
 https://trac.cyberduck.io/ticket/7549

 However my question would be, is there any way to make my FTP connection
 secure?


 Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

 Many thanks,
 Kevin
