Rob, Sniffing an FTP password is surprisingly trivial given the tools that exist today. I'd be inclined to agree with Andrew when he says that it's likely that your IP/UID/pass got posted somewhere, and that they were doing some recon on your system and looking for goodies. It may be advisable to either: -Set your firewall to only allow FTP traffic from "trusted IPs" Or -Switch to SCP Cheers, -JP
