First, excellent job. I love FullSync. I'm the author of Fast Back'em. I've started three separate times to add FTP/SFTP support to Fast Back'em and gave up after deciding that I wasn't going to be a desktop developer anymore.
This tool would be perfect if one could encrypt the files on the FTP/SFTP side. The reason I want that is because I would like to backup my files to a cheap shared host. But since shared hosting accounts get hacked about 12 times per week (semi-joking), I would prefer a client-side pre-encryption before the files get uploaded.
Do you think this would be difficult to add?
Best,
Kurt

Hi Kurt,
only encrypting the file contents before uploading and decrypring after downloading should be pretty easy to add.
But that would leave filenames unencrypted (which may be considered leaking information) adding encryption also to filenames makes everything more complicated obviously.
