        As has been hinted at already, HTTP does not use *any* encryption. In order to encrypt hypertext file transfers, one would need to set the web server and clients to HTTPS protocol. Most likely your server is Apache, but in any case such configuration details are off-topic for this list. Please read up on, for example, 'man https' or do a web on 'apache configuration'.
