Hello: These bastards from the abo.wanadoo.fr domain pull this sort of thing all the time. They are trying to find if a few things: 1. FTP servers 2. If the FTP servers allow anonymous login 3. If anonymous login allows uploading to incoming directory 4. If anonymous login allows downloading from incoming directory This way, they can use other people's servers to distribute pirate software and other things. I'll bet anything they have an automated script that reports back to them if it finds a site which satisfies all three conditions.
