Re: Encrypting FTP transfers

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We are also doing VPN over the Internet, using NT PPTP on the server side
and the PPTP (VPN) client that comes with Windoze on the client side.  The
raw performance is not as good as a straight connection to our AS400 via the
Internet thru our proxy server, but for secure access to all the services on
our network, it works fine.

packets, and send them unencrypted to their true destination.
