Beware: FileZilla Doesn’t Protect Your Passwords
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hey Guys,
I have to do with internet long time and I knew, that ftp is not the safest way. But now I had to pay for doing it the lazy way :-(
Even that I used sftp, didn't help me that time and my site got attacked badly. I had to kill everything. After I did some research and found that article:

Thought, that could be from interest to all of you, if you not already now about it.
Even if you use sftp, it is dangerous if you choose logontype : Normal.
I for myself have changed now to ssh.
I know, that there is no 100% guarantie or so, but it's certainly good, to think about safety and do the best possible.
Good luck!
