Actually, in this case, the security issue is with the ftp server. The people who have access to the UV server (not just shell) are supposed to have access, being able to sniff traffic to get usernames and passwords for a ftp transaction requires a little more effort, than just editing a file that happened to be in existance for that short time of the ftp file transport.
Seems curl won't work for me, as it's not just an .exe, the packet driver has to be installed as well, and I don't have access, nor do I want to start installing software. and getting it installed might be more problems than it's worth...but if all else fails, I'll have to return to that option. My next try will be to compile a PERL program with the Net::FTP module, This should keep compatibility between unix and windows fairly clean as well. I don't think that module requires an additional packet driver to be installed, but I guess I'll find out.
