FTPS (FTP with security) adds SSL or TLS encryption to FTP. Many modern ftp clients and servers support this capability seamlessly, and its use is highly recommended for FTP wherever it's supported, as otherwise authentication and communications are handled in plain text. Also consider SFTP, which is a protocol for transferring files securely that doesn't use FTP.
