I'm trying to figure out who/what is accessing my storage device?
This is a 1GB device with multiple shares that are accessible on my LAN without a password.
Additionally, I have enabled the FTP Server so that I can backup a remote database each night. The remote machine connects to the LS-CHL via FTP using the appropriate userid and password, uploads the database to the backup folder, then disconnects. This takes less than 2 hours each night and works flawlessly.
Each morning I log into the remote machine using GOTOMYPC, checkout the FTP log file, and make sure that all is well.
From time to time I will observe that something, is accessing the LS outside the FTP window and I'm puzzled as to what this activity is. The LAN light is flashing non-stop and I know that the traffic is coming from the web because the light stops dead when I disconnect the WAN from my router. If I reconnect the WAN, the non-stop flashing resumes. Eventually, it will stop and the machine sits idle as it should.
I thought that maybe that the antivirus setup of a locally connected LAN machine had a scan running against a mapped drive on the LS, but the traffic is not coming from the LAN.
Any ideas on what might be accessing my device and how to stop it?
Thanks in advance for any guidance.
