Hi Jim! I think it will turn them off more if the webhosting service gets the reputation of being hacked regularly. Plus the hassle of recovering from backups and the embarassment. It would be great though if they can be easily convinced that the extra procedures are necessary to keep the service more secure. How about if the one-time password can be kept for sometime like an hour (sort of expiration) after each successful ftp session just to maintain compatibility? -- .--. Michael J.
