FTP is a service that is commonly used in Web Servers from Webmasters for accessing the files remotely. So it is almost impossible not to find this service in one of our clients systems during an engagement.
The "vsftpd" auxiliary module will scan a range of IP addresses attempting to log in to FTP servers. This module will test FTP logins on a range of machines and report successful logins. If you have loaded a database plugin and connected to a database this module will record successful logins and hosts so you can track your access.
