Abstract
This document defines a method to encrypt a file transfer using the FTP specification STD 9, RFC 959std9, "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)", (October 1985) [3] and RFC 2228prop, "FTP Security Extensions" (October 1997) [1]. This method will use the Key Exchange Algorithm (KEA) to give mutual authentication and establish the data encryption keys. SKIPJACK is used to encrypt file data and the FTP command channel.
