Tips For Running WordShell Securely

You should remember that WordShell stores your FTP passwords in its configuration file. By default this is in .wordshell/rc in your home directory. Do not keep them on a machine that untrusted people can access.

Remember also that FTP is not always encrypted; data and passwords can be snooped ‘over the wire’. WordShell supports encrypted FTP, SFTP and FTP over TLS for encryption by default. We recommend you use one of those modes if your web host supports it.
