Strange FTP traffic...

I had some strange FTP traffic a week or two ago and I'm just now
getting around to remember to post it.  ;)  Is anyone familiar with
this scan?  Just looks like a check for a world writable incoming.  I
need to clear out the WaReZ puppies and VCD couriers every once in a
while on this server, is this how they're finding me?

There are no other strange log entries...
