Hello, I've been using my comcast account as an ftp server. Normally, I access it through network neighborhood by visiting ftp://[email protected]. Recently though, I just noticed the warning dialog box that says "FTP does not encrypt or encode passwords before sending them to the server".

The stuff I have on my FTP server isn't anything important, but I found the no-encryption unsettling. The "click me" help thingy told me about using "secure web folders" but upon checking the microsoft documentation, it told me it only works with https://, and that ftp has no protection.

Anyway, so is there a way I can access my FTP server securely?


P.S. I checked antionline's search function before I posted and didn't find anything. If I missed something, I apologize.
