anonymous ftp account

[chatwizrd]

How can I create my domain so I can get anonymous ftp to work.

I want it so users can go to ftp://ftp.mydomain.com without having to enter the login info.

Yes I know you can setup [email protected] but I dont want that. Because linking to to it has to be like ftp://[email protected]:[email protected]

How can I get proftpd to vhost it so just the 'anonymous' login works so users will never be prompted for a login.

I will dedicate an ip to the user for this so thats not a problem I just am not sure how it sets up.

I noticed my /etc/proftpd.vhosts.conf is totally empty.

No one knows?

Have you tried enabling the anonymous ftp account for that user?

You can set up anonymous ftp for the DA username hosting the account, and that will be "true" anonymous ftp.

Whether it will work without a prompt or not depends on your ftp client. It should in browsers, because browsers will respond with default entries.

But anyone logging in with a ftp program will still have to enter a username password pair, which is generally anonymous for the user, and their email address for the password.

How do you set that up?

I have already did http://site-helper.com/ftp.html#anonftp

and it just makes it [email protected] instead of just anonymous

I think you have to add the user to a configure file somewhere.

Anyone?
