  I am attempting to connect to my recent connections and when I select the site, I receive the following message:
  "If you do not disconnect, your password will be sent over the network in the clear."
  Why am I getting this message????
  I had been connecting in the past without issue.

  Hi,

  It sounds like the server has changed its security policies. I would do one of two things:

  1) Uncheck "Warn before sending password insecurity" in the Security section of Fetch Preferences
  2) Ask your server administrator if they support SFTP or FTP with TLS/SSL (also known as FTPS), which offer better security

  Thanks,
