I have a small C# desktop application. It connects to postgres db server. I will distribute this application to some users.
Now my question;
Is someone can get my connection string (username, password) with local port listener software or any other software?
If answer is yes, how can I prevent this?
Thank you.

Yes. Your application could be decompiled and your app.config could have the password.
You could use an SSL connection and encrypted app.config.
Ideally, you could have a master service that would own talking to the database and your child applications would be clients.

I have some app-components on the same machine but in different languages that need to communicate. I am using socket communication over localhost to do so. The data transferred is confidential.
Should this communication be encrypted?
I mean an attacker would have to be able to run code on the machine in order to intercept this and in that case the user lost anyway, right?

". ogg" files will not play on my website. The browser displays a 404.3-error. It has probably something to do with the configuration of the server. When I asked the server administrator, he referred to http://blogs.iis.net/bills/archive/2008/03/25/how-to-add-mime-types-with-iis7-web-config.aspx. But thats a guide that is intended for. NET users - and my website are made in classic ASP. How is the solution implemented in classic ASP - is it possible?

You need to use IIS manager, which means you either need a remote desktop connection to your server or you need to get your server admin to do it for you.
Either way, instructions on how to add a mime type are here

What would be the best way to setup a secure remote access to ADMIN end/CMS of your web. app? - what available tools? configs? ideas? isolating admin end? there is talk of using SSL certs(how?)
Will be using browser on my PC to access Admin end to manage users..
I would run the admin console only on the server’s localhost and use SSH to forward localhost:1234 from the server’s point of view to localhost:5678 from my machine’s point of view with the following:
ssh -L 127.0.0.1:5678:127.0.0.1:1234 user#server
Then you can access the forwarded port via http://localhost:5678/.

I'm looking for some sort of web software that is secure, where a team of people can login and view/add/edit Clients, with the following normal meta data:
Client Name
Domain
FTP User/Pass
MySQL User/Pass
CMS User/Pass
Anyone have any recommendations, don't really want to create a php script myself?
The problem at the moment is: We currently administrate a .DOC with all the information in it.
look at https://lastpass.com or http://www.passpack.com/ which allows you to share credentials with people.
I don't know of any specific software that could help you, however, I have used Basecamp before which is a payed cloud based service.
http://basecamphq.com/
They also offer something called 'highrise' which could better suit your needs:
