Frontpage

[bob]

Does Frontpage send the password in cleartext like FTP when it uses

the proprietary Frontpage protocol?

 

[Chris Leeds, MVP - FrontPage]

it doesn't.
in fact, when you try to publish with Expression Web (FrontPage's
replacement) using FTP, the program actually recommends you use
FrontPage/SharePoint publishing to avoid this issue.

In addition to what Chris mentions. If you can publish via http your
password will be sent encrypted only if the server on the other end is a
Windows server running IIS. FrontPage uses the NTLM authentication scheme
that is built into Windows. Unfortunately, non-MS web servers can't make use
of these encryption and in those cases the password is sent in plain text.
So, publishing via http to IIS = encrypted password, otherwise plain text.
