In which case I suspect you need to look hard at WebDAV and other https://
based transfer options before someone sniffs all the passwords and has a

(WebDAV is the standard microsoft embraced, and so far hasn't extended ;)
but decided to call 'My Network Places' rather than WebDAV) and is built
into modern versions of their products as a network drive.
