There's a (proposed) standard for encrypted FTP, it's called FTP over TLS ... Here's a link: http://www.ford-hutchinson.com/~fh-1-pfh/ftps-ext.html According to the web page there are 19 available client implementations (Including CuteFTP Pro) and 17 available server implementations. I personally use FTP over TLS (CuteFTP Pro and proftpd w/Peter Runestig's TLS patches, as well as the new mod_tls developed by TJ Castaglia, derived from the former) and recommend it fully!
