That doesn't look too pretty at all. The user names listed on the side, are they FTP users that you have setup? Do you have anonymous FTP enabled on your account? And if you do, have also enabled Uploads for anonymous FTP users?

ok, this worry me a little as well. Seem like they are from domain.
Any fancy script with ftp running??

or you can check your ftp manager, make sure the anonymous ftp is OFF.
by this, only you can ftp in. If still seeing them, time to contact support. Just weird.

Just testing on my own account and I'm not able to see anything from that link (expected result as I didn't have any FTP connections).

But then..

Upon creating an FTP connection that link now showed me every user that is currently FTP'd into the server. All those other usernames are different accounts that are logged in.

I can't really say I'm thrilled about that as it shows my username to log in and the IP I'm connecting from.

I do like the help tip a the top, though:
"This can be very useful in preventing users from accessing your files without your permission."
Doing that by giving out my username to any bloke you makes an FTP connection, eh?

I checked my anonymous ftp account which says,

"You can allow users to connect to your anonymous FTP directory without having a password to login. This may be useful if you have files that you wish to be publicly available for download. Please note that allowing anonymous users to access any part of your system may be considered a security hole."

"Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.mydomain.com" was checked as default!!!

I think that that should be turned off by default.
