Publishing in Visual Studio with FTP

I want to use ClickOnce to publish my application (because I haven't found any other solution that is as simple and well integrated in the IDE).

I have set up a website to publish my application to, where users will download it from. My understanding is that the only method available for publishing ClickOnce is over FTP. I have read that with FTP, your password can be "intercepted".

What does this mean exactly? Can anyone, anywhere on the internet see your password? Or would they have to be on your local network? Basically - how could someone, theoretically, gain access to my FTP account, and how much of a risk is it of happening?

The password using FTP protocol is transmitted in "opened" format and can be catched using sniffer. Use ssl / sftp. Publish your site to folder and then use another ftp client like winscp
