No one should be using FTP in the year 2010. FTP in inherently unsecure because it passes password data unencrypted(!) and therefore visible to anyone snooping anywhere between the sender and receiver. There are known vulnerabilities in some routers which, if unpatched, allow third parties to "eavesdrop" and grab FTP passwords. The problem(s) with JCO's site aren't in the images. They're in other files that have been uploaded by whoever has snooped his password. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
