Sounds like you have been hit by the Warez Piratez.  The directories they
create hold pirated software.

There are DOS utilities, like the old Norton utilities that will remove the
directories when you boot to a diskette.  You can also rename the
directories, reversing what they did to make them non removable.  (Search
google.com for "Warez Piratez" for an explanation.)

Be sure you tighten up your ftp security, or the problem will come back.
(Check the permissions on the Everyone group and make certain the Guest
account is disabled.)

Subject: [IMail Forum] FTP server hijacked


Someone has hacked my Imail server that had FTP running on it. Now there are
directories on the drive that can not be removed except by anonymous user ?

Anyone know how they got to write that on my ftp if it was set to deny
anonymous connections ?
