Secure FTP Files for Download by iOS Device

I want the user to be able to download a .txt/.mp3/.jpg from an FTP to the device (currently working) - however this is not at all secure. Is there a way i can secure this by adding a username and password on those files or something similar?

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

If you only want to download files, why not try http download and https for secure? And you can post the username/password to http/https server, depend it you can identify users and set their permissions.

If you are sure of that you do really need ftp, try ftp over ssh.
