Hi Joey,
Thanks for the reply. In your example people will still be able to go to the VARS file and see the password. Are there any FTP specific param files that the password could be put it that would make it harder to find? In my internet search I saw some code use $PASSWORD$ but it was not explained.
Thanks again!
