I had that problem once and just stopped saving - never had another hack again. No data file, no data find...

regular ftp sends your password over the internet in the clear. Anyone between you and your server can read it. FTP is just fine if you're running a public repository that people can download from where passwords are not sent. If you're using FTP for anything that requires a password then FTP is outdated for that use.
SFTP or SCP is the way to go for secure transfers.
