CuteFTP Professional User s Guide 

Note: 

Using OTP with SSL adds a redundant layer of protection as SSL 

authentication already protects the password using a robust encryption 

mechanism. 

Note: 

OTP is defined in RFC 1938 (replaced by 2289) and was evolved from 

S/KEY , a One Time Password System originally developed by 

Bellcore.
