With this particular incident... send an email to abuse () telstra com with
this log and they will kick the person... TMNS is Telstra Managed
Network Services, and it looks like that particular link is a Cable
connection.

I've been seeing more aggressive attempts than that here.  
Here is a recent example.  They attempt to CWD to a large 
number of common ftp directory names.  If successful, they 
try to create a directory there.  This user repeated the 
exact same scan five minutes later.  (To save space I have 
only included the first one.)
