Looks like he has compromised a server...

The same person also tried to Brute Force into SSH but BFD took care of that. So what is he trying now and how do I stop him...

Thanks.

Make sure that you have an access control list for your FTP whereas you only allow certain usernames to login (a.k.a. not root or pretty much any username that can login via SSH).

Install BFD with APF, it will send those guys to /dev/null icon_cool.gif
