Description:

The remote host seems to be running TYPSoft FTP server, version 1.10.

This version is prone to a remote denial of service flaw.
By sending an empty login username, an attacker can cause the ftp server
to crash, denying service to legitimate users.

Solution : Use a different FTP server or upgrade to the newest version
Risk factor : High
