Using Anonymous FTP

During the anonymous FTP installation, a directory called <domain>-anonftp will be created. This directory will contain two subdirectories: /pub and /incoming.

Place files that you would like to be available for anonymous downloading in your /pub directory. Users may access this directory at ftp://<domain>/pub. The /pub directory may be read from the web, but it is not writable; users will not be able to make changes to directory contents.

Files that users upload will be placed in your /incoming directory. Users can access this directory at ftp://<domain>/incoming. The /incoming directory is writable from the web, but not readable. Users will be able to add files, but will not be able to view the contents of the directory.

For security reasons, your users may not upload and download to the same directory. You are responsible for moving files from /incoming to /pub to insure user availability.
