Both criptographic algorithms serve different purposes. If you're looking forward to: cipher all comunications between the server and the peer, you're probably looking up to 3DES. If you just want to guaratee that the file sent thru ftp, or, for instance an email gets as is and that it hasn't been modified by "third parties", SHA1 will probably be the best choice. Take a look at some of the several algorithms in this page http://www.filetopia.org/encryption.htm Cheers, -lucipher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
