I work for a bank. Lots of banks (and companies that use them) use file transfer systems (including FTP) to send files around. However these are generally not on public networks.

Cheers
Ken

I haven't used FTP in years.  Why in the world would Bank of America have
any FTP servers?

(although a key logger could just as easily capture any type of access)
