FTP access security warning

  1. Hi,

    I always see a warning when I am about to use FTP (through Expression Web), to connect to my site 'User name and Password will be sent in unencrypted text....'

    Is this a security issue? If so, is there a better way - one that doesn't have the security risks of unencrypted text? I've been using MS Expression Web to (very easy and straight forward publishing and sync functions). I'm just wondering about the risks involved in readable user name and password.

    Thanks. BRN..
