If it reported your IP address correctly, then it was that IP that it was 
scanning. You might want to try bringing up a browser that supports ftp and 
try typing in http://127.0.0.1 to test the web server and then 
ftp://127.0.0.1 and see if it connects. If so, you know you have an ftp 
server running.
