Secure Connections 

Note: 

Wordcount should return a "1" as the first number. OpenSSH asks for 

the identity files password the first time you log in. If CuteFTP 

Professional fails to connect, contact our support team and provide the 

kernel version, OpenSSH build, and the CuteFTP Professional build 

number (located under Help > About). 

Encrypt passwords using OTP 

When you connect to a site you can encrypt your password to protect it from interception 

using the One Time Password (OTP) scheme.  OTP is supported by GlobalSCAPE Secure 

FTP Server, various *nix servers, and a few Windows  based servers as well.
