I hadn't thought of it before, but now that I do it probably is possible. They can apparently transmit website login info so why not ftp connection info.

I think the best a commish can do in such a situation is ask everyone to scan their computers for virii and other malware asap, even suggesting say some scanning programs (I use avast and superantispyware), and telling everyone that in a few days they'll be changing all the ftp info which will mean everyone will have to install a full file.

Or is there a better way?
