How do I monitor login attempts to IIS FTP ?

I noticed the EventLog fill up today on our server and when I looked it had hundreds of login attempt failures to our FTP service, MSFTPSVC. Does anyone know how I can configure this FTP so that it logs all unsuccessful login attempts, with the IP address?

Only thing I can think of doing for now is to run Ethereal packet sniffer and capture anything on port 21.
 
In IIS Manager, you can modify what gets logged in your FTP (ip address, etc). By default, they don't log much.
 
Try Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> Internet Info Services. Right-click on the FTP Site and go to Properties.

In the Logging section, click on Properties and go to the Extended Properties tag and check off Client IP address. Check C:\WINDOWS\system32\LogFiles\MSFTPSVC1\ for the log file.
