General Overview

        For an FTP client, a part of the SafeTP suite transparently interposes
    itself between outgoing ftp traffic from any standard FTP client to
    provide secure authentication when it detects a connection to a secure
    FTP server.

        On the server side, SafeTP listens to the standard FTP port, accepts
    incoming FTP traffic and authenticates it. After the user is
    authenticated, the SafeTP daemon passes the traffic along to the FTP
    daemon for normal processing. It also has the capability to provide
    a secure data channel, encrypting the data stream in addition to the
    login sequence.
