Security +----------- + + Since version 0.2 was introduced the possibility of encrypting the + password for the FTP server.

However, there are some + suggestions (which will be given at the end of this explanation) to + make this system highly secure. + + To encrypt the FTP user password, ftpmd5back uses a symmetric-key + encryption algorithm which is Blowfish algorithm.
