What the https (SSL) does is it encrypts your files during transfer. This
makes it just a little slower because each file is encrypted before and after
send/receive. But of course more secure.
In addition to SSL we use MD5 digest for authentication. We also do this
for each request/response. This encrypts your username/password based
on a key that is send and decrypted at our server again.
At the first use of https, you would need to install the certificate. When you
see the popup windows click on "View Certificate" button than click on
"Install certificate" You would only need to do this once. After that you can
setup your account.
