Hello,

I became concerned that regular FTP transmits passwords in plain text; thus, I looked for alternatives.  After searching the forums, I found that you don't support sftp and probably never will (on the basic plan, anyway).  However, you do seem to support FTP over explicit TLS.

I emerged filezilla (I'm on Gentoo) and set it up, following the instructions in the last post on the first page here:
http://www.lunarforums.com/lunarpages_webhosting_help/ftp_over_tlsexplicit_router_problem-t42121.0.html
Now, I'm able to connect to the server, but it hangs up waiting for the directory listing.

I imagine a lot of people would be very interested in having the convenience of FTP, along with the security of encrypted password transmission.  Could someone please help me out in setting it up?

Thanks!
Chip
