Bummer! It appears that it is time for you disable all of those incoming services we mentioned. Have you considered using Secure Shell? If you can't use Secure Shell, you might want to try One-Time Password packages, such as OPIE. I believe that even WU-FTP is starting to support one time passwords, too. -Ossama
