Hi, What are my alternatives to use email/PGP ? The user needs to see this (sensitive) information, and already has an user/pass for .htaccess paths. I _think_ using .htaccess login though, even though the password is encrypted at 'root' level, sends the username/pwd across the internet as plain text, just like FTP. :( I guess I could setup another path/directory, and the user _has_ to use the SSL connection, plus a .htaccess login. Would that make the viewing of the information 'secure' ? Sorry this is a bit OT for Perl now, but considering what people have stated, using a zip password is not secure, using PGP/email may be difficult as I haven't used it before, and this user is not very computer literate at all.
