thanks Wendell and James for the suggestions .
I will check with my clearing house about their secure FTP site .
I am using WPA2 for wireless .
I have tried Trucrypt and used it but was told that it may interfere with networking by AC tech support. I thought diskcriptor which is also free was better for whole disk encryption as it was designed for windows.I felt bitlocker would be more difficult for me as I did not have TPM on my computers.
glad to know that LMI is ok as that is what I am using now
any thoughts on Pretty good Privacy ( PGP) would be welcome
thanks again
