The logs are actually all "FAIL UPLOAD: Client ..  /blah/blah/Photo.scr"
these days.

There were a couple misconfigured directories owned by ftp:ftp with
mode some fucked up combo of either u+w or g+w where it kept getting
placed, which was fixed a while ago.

I thought (not being a windows user) that ".scr" files were fucking...
images? Screensaver files? Apparently Windows also blithely interprets
them as ".scr"ipts, which includes regular old win32 executable code.
The beautiful aesthetics of Windows. And obviously I never wanted to run

Oh, and its apparently a "monero" miner/virus, not bitcoin. So many
blockchain currencies, so little wattage... Except in Venezuela, of
course :)
