Is the MyODBC password encrypted?

[Mike Fish \(Shoal Computer Solutions Ltd\)]

Hi

I'm connecting to a MySQL server on the internet from a VB6 app on Win2K
using MyODBC.
I understand that the connection itself is not secure. I cannot implement
SSH for the connection as my ISP does not support this with MySQL.

However, when MyODBC sends the username and password etc to the MySQL
server, is it encrypted or sent a plain text?



Thanks
