Hey Bigstar!

I own a web hosting company, and I recommend Flash FXP to all of my clients ...

Recently I have had several clients (9 and counting) get all of their sites "hacked" by malware that looks for their FlashFXP password files, and gains access to their websites via FTP ..

I was wondering if it would be possible to request that the flash FXP password file be encrypted, or something similar, to prevent malware from stealing our passwords?

I have used FlashFXP for several years now, and would like to continue to do so, but we need some kind of password encryption, so we can feel safe using this software.

I for now am using WinSCP, but I do miss the convenience of FlashFXP, and having to enter my passwords manually each time I use it, is far too much inconvenience.

Here is a bit more on this particular malware problem ...

Thank you for your time!
