As I understand it the Copy Web Site tool in VS.NET 2005 sends the
username/password unencrypted. Is there an option for it send this
information encrypted instead? If not is there any way to get this similar
functionality of Copy Web Site tool to do so securely?

I'm really not using the synchronization feature of the Copy Web Site tool -
just serves as a convenient way for me to deploy the changes I've made
locally. Is there a better alternative?

Thanks,

Steve

What about FTP? We usually use Anonymous FTP with firewall and IIS IP
restrictions for uploading websites. This way no username/password has to be
sent in plaintext (with IIS, they're windows users - so broadcasting them is
pretty bad!), but we're still pretty secure :)
