Do I use encrypt?

[Dan Friedman]

Greetings!

Currently, my application writes data to a server using the put command:

    put someData into url ("ftp://uName:pWord@123.45.6.78/folder/file.txt")

A client is requesting that I not use clear text for the username/password.
To do this, do I use the encrypt command?  If so, how is this done?  There
is no sample in the docs.

Thank you in advance!
