I am nervous to go in and reset passwords etc.. Afraid that the hacker may know or record what I am doing??

I use cuteFTP for file transfers,

this is the error I get when trying to connect

"STATUS:> Getting listing ""...
STATUS:> Resolving host name ns.web4you.net...
STATUS:> Host name ns.web4you.net resolved: ip = 74.86.29.196.
STATUS:> Connecting to FTP server ns.web4you.net:21 (ip = 74.86.29.196)...
STATUS:> Socket connected. Waiting for welcome message...
ERROR:> Can't read from control socket. Socket error = #10054 "

which leads me to believe I can't fix anything from my end, Have to wait for the hosting company to take care of it..


I believe this is a vulnerability at the hosting company..

What should I ask them to do so my (my friends site) doesn't get hacked?

BTW only two files were changed....

Can I change permissions on those file so I am the super user?
