Hi Graham M, it used to make odd noises when I had port 21 open all the time. I could hear the hard drive doing something, it's normally quiet on power save mode. You can hear it when it spins up and sounds like it was doing something even though I wasn't accessing it myself in the house. With the port blocked it doesn't make that noise at all. I try and make the user names and passwords quite secure but I worry they can still be hacked.
