To see all your traffic try using ethereal
http://www.ethereal.com/
You'll also need to install winpcap
http://winpcap.polito.it/
to capture the packets

It's a great tool. I use it at work for cleaning up
network broadcast traffic on networks as well as analyzing
the output of programs on the net.

Never put something like an ftp login and password in
a program or game. it's easy to strip it out of the packets

encrypt on the client and decrypt on the server even if it's simple encryption like XORing it with a set value.
