Ordinary FTP is not terribly secure, as it transmits your password in
clear text, and data unencrypted.  NetBSD comes with 'sftp' (which 
isn't really FTP, but 'ssh' disguised to look like it), which is rather
more secure.  Or, you could use ordinary FTP with 'ssh' port-forwarding
(see man ssh).  If you want to install a third-party "secure" FTP, some
to look at are

	Kerber-ized FTP: http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/
	SafeTP:	http://safetp.cs.berkeley.edu/
	Secure FTP: http://security.sdsc.edu/software/secureftp/
	SRP FTP: http://srp.stanford.edu
	GridFTP: http://www.globus.org/datagrid/gridftp.html

You can probably find others with a bit of searching.
