FTP server & security

I've had a Filezilla server running on Winxp for quite a while with no anonymous login. From time to time i see a lot of connections coming in from one IP. No u/p is submitted, the threads just hang there until they time out. Is this someone trying to crack the server?

I don't care about the content on the ftp root being read by strangers, but the rest of the drive is private. Is it possible for an intruder to get access to the whole disk?

Oh yeah, one more. I've read that plain ftp is unsecure since the communication isn't encrypted. How difficult is it to actually snap up passwords for people outside this lan?

Thanks
