I am trying to set up my FTP through my control panel. I dont want it to be the default, so i chose to creat a new ftp with a username, password, etc and it is only ftp access. (not domain or user)
a couple of things:
1) I want to allow anonymus logon and uploading so that i can share my ftp info with others and transfer files. (ftp purpose, right??). I checked the site helper and i think it is an old version b/c it says there is an "Anonymous FTP settings" link in the main FTP menu. I can not find anything like this. im looking for guidance on how to change my anonymus setting.
2) when i logon via my MAC, i am able to get in, but then i can not see any of the folders that i can see on my PC in this new user acct (but not access to upload). If I use the default info for the domain, i am able to get to the public folder the long way and view the files....
HOWEVER, when i try to add files or download them from the folder, it says "ftp.domainname.com cannot be modified"
I know i can download fetch to use as a ftp client (it times out and fails), but i am trying to find the easiest way to direct others to this ftp without a ton of downloading of trial software for onetime use. I also need direction on how to change the settings so that i dont get the "cannot be modifed" message on my mac and the "make sure you have permission" message on my PC.
hopefully this is clear to someone
thanks
