I used to get dozens of anonymous ftp probes a day.  I have it disabled, but lots of people keep trying anyway, some with ten or more probes per second.

Since I am the main user of my server, I just moved ftp to a different port and changed the config on my client (Dreamweaver).  Now I worry less about an ftp exploit.  :-)
