Encrypted/truly anonymous ftp would be nice (though some folx would understandably have problems with truly anonymous uploads, and crypto export restrictions in the US could be problematic legally).
I think there is already work on encrypted telnet (stel) by the CERT/IT people. ---------------- If a completely encrypted http method (ssl) is indeed available, a (clunky) solution to both of the above would be a web proxy on an encrypted server that would act like a ftp or telnet proxy. I'm not sure about the limits of the html language for doing this (updates, et al)- it may have to be graphics to the user and form input back, which would take a while. -Allen
