I'm not going to rate this down because it is a beta, but there are some big problems here. BIG PROBLEM #1: It spews line after line of garbage into the system log files every second it is active. Leaving this program on for a few days might result in hundereds of megabytes of log files detailing every little thing this program does. BIGGER PROBLEM 2: When you log into a ftp site, this program logs the site address AND YOUR PASSWORD to the system logs in clear text, which are readable to every user on the machine. This is a HUGE NO-NO. Nobody using a mult-user setup should use this program. And everybody else should be careful about it.
