1. How do users download files from my Anon FTP? - Top
<A HREF="ftp://yourdomain.com/tr/something.exe">Download Something
Now</A> is accessible via a web browser.
This is the same as your
/home/username/public_ftp
2. Incoming Anon FTP directory? - Top
The incoming directory would be:
ftp://domainname.com/incoming
This directory is writable from the web but NOT readable. No one coming in from the web (or from an FTP program logging in as
"anonymous" or "anonymous@yourdomain.com") can see what files are stored here.
3. What are all the directories Anon FTP sets up?
- Top
After anonymous FTP is setup, it will create a directory called
domainname-anonftp in the user's home directory. This directory will by default contain the following directories:
/public_ftp/incoming
/public_ftp
The only directory that is used is the "pub" directory. This is where the client should put files that they want to have users anonymously
download. Users can access this directory via a browser by going to:
ftp://domainname.com/
Note, we do not allow clients the ability to allow users to both upload and download to the same directory. We do this for security
reasons. The client is responsible for moving files from the incoming directory to the pub directory if they wish for uploaded files also to be downloaded.
The incoming directory is created by default .
The incoming directory would be:
ftp://domainname.com/incoming
This directory is writable from the web but NOT readable. No one coming in from the web (or from an FTP program logging in as
"anonymous") can see what files are stored here.
This can be useful for resellers who want to allow their clients to
update their pages but don't want to give them full FTP access. The clients would upload to incoming and the reseller would move
the files into domainname-www.
4. How do I setup Anon FTP?- Top

5. What is Anon FTP?- Top
Anonymous FTP is the ability to upload and/or download files from
our servers without having a login username and password. Obviously, for security reasons, we only allow anonymous FTP to specific directories.
