I know that, of course the server is running a FTP server.
However, the status of the connection should not be LISTEN whenever
there is a foreign IP address connecting to mt server.
What I normally should be albe to see is if there is a foreign IP
connecting to my server, the status should be ESTABLISHED, or if it is
disconnecting, the status should be FIN2 or etc.
I just want to know is anyone encounter this before and why it happens?
Thanks.
