Safe way to store files

[LIMITER]

Here's what you need :

("ftp://NewUser@mydomain.com:MyPassword@mydomain.com/directory/test.txt")

("ftp://NewUser%40mydomain.com:MyPassword@mydomain.com/directory/test.txt")

This works

Thanks Limiter, it works!

Does autoit support SFTP (FTP over SSL) ?

I don't know if it supports ...

OK, so if I include winscp and let it handle the sftp (FTP over SSL) things. Is it save to distribute the script then? Can others still see usernames,passwords in any way?

So you are planning on distributing this script? In that case, no, your details are not entirely safe. The compiling process does do a decent job of mixing stuff up and making a script hard to read if it were to be decompiled, which as I understand is only nearly impossible, not completely impossible, but it's still possible. As near as I can figure there isn't really any simple way to safely transfer data back and forth over the internet.

As said by Saunders, there's no real safe way to send data over the net. SSL would probably make it harder though...

I would say this, create a user account on the webserver, which only has access to create new and write new files, not modify.

That would make it less dangerous if the password would be 'leaked'..
