I was also told that the attack could come from the uploading or home computer but but anti virus and Microsoft's malware program failed to detect anything.
If it is a password problem is it true that

We had a major malware issue here recently also - but it had nothing to do with FTP. We got the Ukash virus, which seemed to mutate into various forms. It busted through both our anti-virus and firewall and literally locked the system up.
It took me three days to completely eliminate it. No permanent damage, just major annoying with the downtime.
