Hello All,

Does anybody know a secure way to store the user IDs and passwords required
by a Client Access file transfer and a Delphi/400 program that run as an
automated task on an NT server?

I know that when they are transmitted anybody with a sniffer could look at
them, what I want is to stop people from looking at the batch file on the
server and seeing them in their unencrypted forms.

I just wondered if any of you have got around this problem?

Many thanks

Alan
