    This happened to us through a carelessly-left-open anonymous account. From 
    your logs, it looks like the same m.o. as the ones who got us. We closed 
    the account and shutdown ftp for a few days, which stopped the activity.
    
    I was able to delete the files by using DOS (i.e. cmd.exe) and using the 
    8.3 filenames, not the long filenames (try DIR/X to see the short 
    filenames. ). You can use DEL/S to delete a folder at a time.
