Hello, people. I'm in a rush and i need some expert help quick. Please 
help me.

1. where do i get sample configuration files for wu ftpd?
2. where is the documentation for wu ftpd?
3. is there ANY way to do secure access to FTP servers? i understand that 
passwords are normally transmitted in clear text manner. Is there anyway 
at all to do a login sequence where passwords and ID's sent by the user 
is encrypted?

like, is it possible to do that in Netscape? 

Any help would be greatlyu appreciated!

david
