So?  The UID and PW to access the FTP Server is not [or shouldn't be]
the same as that used for the Secret Key.  :-\  Traffic Analysis will
show that Someone Uploaded and Encrypted File to a Server; this in no
way, shape nor form compromises the Encrypted File.

All 'sniffing' the UID and FTP Server PW grants the 3rd party is the
ability to Upload Files using another's Log-In info and possibly Delete
the Encrypted File before the recipient can access it.

You're talking about Apples & Corn here.
