Hi Bill,

	It is a very good idea but i can't force them to use it.  The WEB 
Developpers are inside an University and i heard that it's complicated 
to make the IT staff add some stuff like that.

	FTPS is supposed to be directly supported by DreamWeaver, so that why 
am asking about it.


Thanks!
