I used Filezilla in the past with decent results, but there's an exploit in their site manager. Unless they fixed that, I want to avoid them as well. Learned the hard way when all my sites got hijacked. Wasn't fun.

I'm not sure if they still do it, if not, I'll switch back. But if they still do, then fuck that shit. I'm not playing that game again.

damn , i am using filezilla, gotta check it out. thanks for the info.

update: now they use base64 encode to store passwords, still sucks. i guess. but who were injecting little php redirect ?
was it filezilla or some other trojan who found the password file ?
