Using Secure FTP is a great way to add security to your site. Regular FTP sends the username and password in plain text. To Secure you FTP connection there is two choices, SSH which uses a secure shell. The problem with using SSH for FTP is that the user must have a username and password for the Linux server. Of course this would not be a username with root access, but even without root access the username and password in the wrong hands can be very dangerous. It can be very time consuming and confusing for a Linux noobie to only allow the ssh username access to FTP.
