Overview A lot of people who often send files love FTP. The File Transfer Protocol allows users to transmit volumes of files over the Internet through uncomplicated FTP clients, some of which are already built-in in the two popular operating systems, Windows and Mac OS X.

They know that an attacker armed with a packet sniffer can easily obtain usernames and passwords just by sniffing an FTP connection.
