NT4 server problem - 4/22/2003 14:37:03   
Hi All,

On one of our older servers we found 1 site that somehow had allowed annonymous FTP Access. :)We have a small problem... It allowed someone to access site & put in some directories w/ system names & illegal names with ntfs file systems we can' t see or remove. We had removed posix as part of hardening web server.

Any suggestion on how to get files off besides backup & reinstall.

This was not a problem on any other machine or site.

Thanks
Erin

This may help. Often the symptoms you describe are from hackers that " borrow" your ftp server to distribute warez and other bad stuff.

Thanks for info - I will look into both of them.

You can tell files have been added. But when you delve down further you see com folders, etc. When we try to delete it says it is not empty - but you can' t see info.
