thank you, randy and david for the info.

i was aware of the password and username thing being sent out in the  
clear. the data that has to be downloaded from our server is not  
highly sensitve stuff.

this will be a temporary solution for the next 2-3 weeks. what are my  
options for the long term in order to set up an secure(r) ftp server?

btw, the people downloading files from my ftp server are dependent on  
my UPloading speed, right?
