Hi, i read somewhere that you can rename the files you're uploading so they aren't easily deleted by other ppl. how do you do that again??!! and are there any other ways to protect your files?? thnx

When you Upload to an FTP site, you basically have no control. You are completely at the mercy of the FTP Sysop. What happens depends on how the Sysop has configured the FTP Server. All this "Fancy" naming stuff is just a big annoyance to everyone.
