Sounds like you need a FireWall appliance that examines all FTP packets and will block or
reject activity based upon a set of rules.

That's what the FTP Daemon does -- authenticate.

You want something to block the non-wanted people trying to exploit vulnerabilities and
search for flaws.

Otherwise just get a *better* FTP Daemon.
