I notice on average 1mb an hour is being sent out by our PDC of FTP traffic. I'm not sure where it is going. I'm wondering if it is SAM replication traffic. Does the same replicate using FTP? Or is this something else? I believe we were hacked some months ago and I am trying to narrow down what purpose this traffic could have. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Hi,

No, I dont believe so. Its a proprietry protocol that has the ability to throttle... FTP doesn't do that.

If you want to know more about the FTP connections to your machine, then turn on the logging in IIS. You'll see from who and when FTPwas used on the machine.

...and from the look of XP's IIS FTP logging, the best it gives you is a "current connections", so you may have to actually spend an hour watching it...

I'm not sure what you'll get from the version of IIS you're running... but that would be the first place to look.

Cheers,
Tim.
