Description (last modified by dkocher)
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

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