I've just been chatting to support about a number of domains on one of my VPSs that have been hacked. The support person recommended not using Filezilla.
I've done a quick check and can't find and major horror stories other than the fact that FZ apparently stores passwords in plain text in an XML file. I work alone and from home so this isn't really a problem for me.
Are there any other issues I should be aware of?
Incidentally, support could offer no explanation as to how these domains had been hacked. My client does, despite my warnings, insist on using Front Page which I suspect may be a factor.
