MxxCon: I apologize if I took your reply out of context, but it seemed to me you were just giving my concerns the brush off.
I appreciate what you are saying, but having 9 clients all recently hacked to sh!t - and the common denominator between at least 6 of them (that I know of) is FlashFXP, it seems that this malware is in fact able to circumvent any encryption that may be in the site manager ... I am not a newbie around computers. I have been doing web hosting since 1998.
I do not know how to read Russian, but apparently in that link in the article, on Kaspervy's website, they detail how the malware operates, and does also confirm Flash FXP to be affected. Why would they include FlashFXP if it was not affected for years? The article only was posted last week.
Anyhow I thank you both for your time ... If I offended anybody, I'm sorry but this was not my intention. Until I am 100% certain that FlashFXP is not vulnerable, I will continue to use WinSCP or putty (shell).
My apologies again - I'll go find "a new movie theatre" to run through ...
