Anonymous FTP


For security reasons, anonymous FTP access only downloads files through FTP in the anon directory and all of its subdirectories. Users often want a centralized location where they can upload files as anonymous users. To provide this function, follow this procedure:
  1. Telnet or SSH into your account and log in.
  2. Type the following at the Unix shell prompt to create an incoming directory in your ftp/pub directory, then press Enter:
    %cd ftp/anon/pub %mkdir incoming
  3. Use your favorite text editor to create the .ftpaccess file; then type the following information in the file:
    <Directory *>
    <Limit STOR CWD>
    AllowAll
    </Limit>
    <Limit READ RMD DELE MKD>
    DenyAll
    </Limit> </Directory>
Note: The .ftpaccess file allows users to upload to this directory, but not download from it. For more information, visit the ProFTPD Website.
