Well, the most obvious answer is:

Don't use M$ FTP.

It's not secure enough, it's not manageble enough and worst of all, it's M$!

If you need to run ftp on a windoze box, try Serv-U.
It's powerful, cheap, fast and easy... just like me :).

I guess my FTP server wasn't as secure as I should have made it.  It is now
though... I think...

anyway.  I got hit by an anonymous login which added some (what seem to be)
empty directories called   _micra   doesn't look like I got hit worse than
that though.

Has anyone else seen this?  If you run M$ FTP service, you might want to
take a look and see if you got hit too...  not sure what it is or does, but
I don't want to find out either.

Sorry to all of the "PHP Specific Police" in advance.
