These are the front page (dev studio) file replecation tools. The user is
trying to edit your page and save it back to the original server. This is
either (a) an inexperienced FrontPage user who didn't think to choose "Save
As" instead of "Save" from front page or (b) someone trying to check the
security of your system (by determining if FrontPage extensions have been
installed).
