Currently the FTP element only supports the FTP protocol (as opposed to SFTP or SCP), which as you likely know is inherently insecure because the password is passed using plain text. If you need additional security you will need to implement it yourself using a custom element. It may also be possible to use IPsec to secure FTP communications, assuming you control the FTP server (more information on IPsec can be found here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/network/bb531150.aspx).

Need to debug further. At this point, just writing my own java class which could do multiple ftp¿s and could also secure the pwd. Will revisit this element later Hemal
