Does anyone see reason to have an /incoming directory for uploads?
For the past 2 days I've seen my server slow down and I looked at the logs
and someone has been uploading commercial software from what looks to be
off a cd-rom and advertising it to their friends. At
one point, we had 60 ftp connections from people downloading it.

I see no reason to have the incoming directory but most people seem to
have one.  Will their be any problems if I were to delete it?

If anyone has also had someone using their site for this illegal use, what
actions did you take (like e-mail their ISP or the software companies
etc..), if any?


Thanks in advance,
Ben
