FTP: Missing Arguments in Request
This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects an FTP command with an incomplete argument list, such as a USER command with no user name, a RETR command with no file name, etc. This can indicate command line access to the FTP server or an exploit attempt.
Extended Description
An insufficient number of required parameters provided on an FTP command line constitutes a protocol anomaly. This could indicate a software configuration error, or that a malicious attack against the FTP service is underway.
