Interesting.... A fellow running a Win2K server here in town reported that his Internet connection had slowed to a crawl. Upon investigation, it was discovered that someone had dumped about 1 GB of files into a writable public directory via anonymous FTP. Someone's obviously scanning for writable anonymous FTP servers and pulling this schoolyard prank. I wonder what they hope to accomplish, other than tying up bandwidth and disk space until someone notices? --Brett At 05:50 PM 2/15/2001, Frank W.
