There I am on a client's network. I drawterm into home happily going about my business.

and then I'm presented with the dilema :-

%ftpfs somewhere
secstore password :

What's a guy to do?

Of course what I do is type in my secstore password because I *needed* to proceed but now I know I've just broadcast the combination to the safe that contains the crown jewels.

I feel safe enough that this time I'm safe but I'm not keen on making it a regular occurrence.

Is anyone working on encrypting drawterm's comms?

If not, what are my alternatives, except not use drawterm.
