Today I was uploading some updated code to one of my sites and I noticed two strange files present...
.wysiwygPro_edit_7a4927b917cabd70e72b98350c0d7089.php
.wysiwygPro_preview_7a4927b917cabd70e72b98350c0d7089.php
They were in the root directory for the forums on one of my sites. They, by name, appear to be something from Wysiwyg Pro. Anyone have a clue what exactly they are, what they do, and how they may have gotten on the server? I searched the domlogs and see no reference to them. Would it show up anywhere else what user/ip/etc created them?
Thanks

Have you been using the cPanel file editor in that directory at all?

Sorry I have not visited this thread in a while. No I have not. I have used it in other accounts and Ive never seen those type files.

Actually, those look more like session files ... Joomla, CMSimple and a few others use that Editor, and if the tmp_path variable isn't set or is set to a non-existent path in php.ini (or overriden in the code), it'll happen. It's usually when someone starts writing a post, and leaves the window open forever....
