I've tried in the past to use E-mail encryption (pgp, etc), but the hitch I always run into is that of course, the person on the receiving end has to also use some form of encryption software to read the messages. Getting ANY of my family, friends or relatives to take this extra step has proven to be impossible for me. They just want to click on AOL LOL whatever, and read their e-mail. They don't want to be bothered even installing something that's transparent, once it's installed. I feel like the kid with the Captain Marvel decoder ring, that can't find any other kid with a ring to play with.... If I have to send data, I zip with encrypt, and place it on a new folder on an FTP site. (Yeah, I know - don't get me started about SFTP - same problem). Actually, whenever possible, I start up an ftp client on my laptop, give them the IP address, and have them pull the data down. This way I can monitor exactly who's connected, and can disconnect after they have the data. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
