Yikes, I shoulda thought of that. Thanks. The computer will respond to FTP
from the command line of another machine. It cant be the IIS FTP though,
because the service is not running. I have already thoroughly checked the
machine for other FTP progs, and I expected to find CUTEFTP installed,
because i used it a couple times, but it is not resident. Odd. Can it
leave the port tied up even after it is uninstalled?

Those (CuteFTP, etc) are FTP Clients, not FTP Servers. Not the same thing.
You cannot connect "to" an FTP Client,...you can only connect to an FTP
Server. Therefore that is what you have to look for. It could be a
legitiment one (like IIS) or it could be a Virus, a Trojan (providing an FTP
backdoor for a hacker), Spyware, Malware,...just name your favorite "evil"
type of software and it could be the one.
