Hide password in line

Question

I create a custom ftp client that registers on one ftp site and goes to a specific folder so that users do not put files in the wrong place.

I'm not really worried about this, but the password is just a line to start a new ftp object.

FtpClient ftp = new FtpClient("www.markonsolutions.com", "user", "password");

What is the best way to keep this password from prying eyes?

Answer 1

FTP only supports text authentication - if you want to hide the password from intruders, you must use FTPS (FTP over SSL) .

Answer 4

Specify password and URL configuration parameters in the protected file. I use INI files and they are placed in a directory protected by the web server, so the browser cannot open and not see the file / directory.
