SafeTP Transparent FTP Security Software For Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000 and UNIX

SafeTP is a revolutionary new security application for Windows and UNIX users who use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) to connect to their accounts on UNIX or NT/2000 FTP servers. The traditional FTP protocol is highly insecure: it sends passwords in the clear. For this reason FTP has been recognized as one of the largest remaining security liabilities in most UNIX systems.

The key advantage of SafeTP is transparency. When SafeTP is installed, any ordinary Windows FTP client automatically becomes a Secure FTP client, without any further user intervention. SafeTP intercepts outgoing FTP network connections, and encrypts the traffic before relaying it to the network.
