Encoding username and password in an ini file?

Me_again · Post by **Me_again** » Tue Oct 18, 2005 3:01 am

I need to give someone a compiled macro that includes ftp function. If it was just for me I would compile the usename/pw in the macro but in this case I need the user to be able to enter their own username/pw and store them in an ini file. I want to encode the information, not to stand up to the NSA but just so it's not a slam dunk to harvest it. I'm wondering if anyone has done something similar and has any suggestions of an easily implemented encoding scheme for me.

Use the Crypt function to encrypt/decrypt the password and use EditIniFile to store, ReadIniFile to retrieve.

Gosh, darn, missed ANOTHER new feature, it's hard to keep up with you guys

Thank you!

I often use the online manual on the support page, is that going to be updated to 7.4 soon?
