Need for secure file transfer?

[Jennifer Heise]

Got a question for you all. Are your campuses/sites working on
converting
from regular FTP/publishing to 'secure file transfer' where passwords,
etc. are encoded at the user end? Our campus is phasing out ordinary
telnet and ftp access to all major machines (both SGI and iBM-AIX),
as well as non-secure passworded web access (done via .htaccess on our
Apache web server). Apparently this is due to the existence of a LINUX
application that can sniff passwords on the local subnet.

Have you found any web design programs that incorporate 'secure file
transfer'? We've just taught a bunch of people to use Dreamweaver's
Site management and are dismayed to find that soon the uploading will
no longer work!
