And were they successful?

This appears when I start my FTP server now (never did before):

It also seems to be polling every 3 minutes. I have security set *very tight* for the server, but it started doing this today for the first time in the 6 months that I've been running this program. Newposter

What FTP server are you running? And at what logging level?
 
It's Serv-U 2.5, and I did recently set it to log everything possible, to catch potential hackers. I turned off the debugging logs and it seems to have stopped. Thanks.

I get 5-10 hack attempts per day between FTP and web servers, so I get a little paranoid about security. Newposter
