Message text

Remote server expected

Description

USER command parameter must have username@server or server!username form because target server has not been specified yet (via transparency or SITE command). See ftp-proxy(8) manual page for details.

Check previous log message to see, what command and parameter were used. This message can be caused by a user mistake, but repeated occurrences can be considered as an intrusion attempt.

Application exits.
