storing passwords

[Brian Waskiewicz]

I have a Python script that makes a Telnet connectio to a remote server and
right now I have the password just stored within my code.  I'd don't like
the idea of leaving the password available like that (the script runs
automatically every night, so I can't prompt the user for it), so is there
any other way to store the password in some kind of encrypted fashion??

Also, is it possible to implement an FTP server in Python (has this already
been done)?
