I am developing a remote program to upload pictures to a gallery2 installation. I've got logging in working, but I'm worried that it is not secure. Passwords are sent in plaintext accross the network as per the login command. Is there a way to make this secure?
Thanks.

Are you using the Gallery Remote Protocol?
You could just use HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Thanks for the reply. I've decided I'm going to use ssh to login to the machine first (HTTPS is costly from my host).
