   Encrypting an archive with WinRAR *and* encrypting the filenames seems to be a   
   solution. I'm using DynDNS and back in Belgium that works OK from a fixed   
   connection for my FTP site, but for some reason I cannot get it to work here in   
   Vilnius via our mobile connection. Of course the real problem is the fact that   
   the idiots at Google still use virus scanners that use heuristics that do not   
   work, like F-Prot - which I've been using for more than a decade, which I've   
   emailed at least half a dozen times this year about their false positives, and   
   who are going to loose me me as a customer in the next three weeks!
