The reason they're not encrypted is, as you probably surmised, because there is no intellectual property in them, and often people can get good ideas from them. The moral of the story is not to give out unsupervised access to your server. If someone can write files to your hard disk, you've got a lot more to worry about.Technical Support ********************************** Smith Micro, Internet Solutions Div | eCommerce (WebCatalog) 16855 West Bernardo Drive, #380 | ------------------------- San Diego, CA 92127 | Software & Site Development WebCatalog Support: (858) 675-0632 | http://www.smithmicro.com Fax: (858) 675-0372 **********************************------------------------------------------------------------- Brought to you by CommuniGate Pro - The Buzz Word Compliant Messaging Server.
