Hi folks, when you use "username/password" the Password has to be kept "Secret" if you expect to have any Security. Also some folks like to "Hammer" on password control to see if they can break it.

Using IP#'s means that only "That" machine can access a site. The number does not have to be kept "Secret", and folks know there is no point to "Hammer". "Always On" broadband service that folks have in place, to move lots of stuff, generally have no problems retaining a given IP# for a long period of time. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And you should change your "Password" from time to time anyway!!! [img]redface.gif[/img]
