Re: Need help. FTP log messages

Hi there,

The Bay logs aren't that detailed for FTP so from
looking over it it appears that someone was seeing
what ports were opened or accidentally FTP'd to your
router.

They have to successfully login as Manager to see/get
files however and your packet filter dropped the IP
packet eventually and the connection was closed. The
FTP Debug error after the IP Packet error is a error
from FTP saying it couldn't transmit the buffer that
was killed by the packet filter most likely. How is
your packet filter setup? (this would possibly explain
delay in dropping the FTP session).

Also look at the times for other connections like
telnet, tftp, etc at around the same time from same
IP.
And if you don't FTP on this router... disable it.

HTH, Erick

traced the address back
to the UK.  Any ideas?
