Anonymous Configure.
- Anonymous FTP home
-
The home directory for anonymous FTP access.
The default value is /home/ftp.
NOTE: For preference, specify a home directory on a local filesystem. If the FTP server system uses NFS to mount the home filesystem from a remote file server, it must have root access to this filesystem for FTP to work correctly (see exportfs(1Mnfs)).Click on Suggest if you want the FTP Server Manager to suggest a value for the home directory.
Click on Select if you want to choose a directory using a file browser.
- User ID
- The user ID of the anonymous FTP account. Click on Suggest if you want the FTP Server Manager to suggest a value for the user ID. The default user ID is 300.
- Allow incoming transfers
-
Select this if you want to allow anonymous FTP users to be
able to put files in the ~ftp/pub/incoming directory
hierarchy in the anonymous FTP area. Deselect this
if you want the anonymous FTP account only
to allow read access to the ~ftp/pub directory hierarchy.
By default, incoming transfers are allowed.
NOTE: If you allow incoming transfers, anonymous FTP users are permitted to view the contents of the ~ftp/pub/incoming directory by default. If you want to prevent possible abusers from viewing the contents of this directory, change its mode to 1733 using the chmod(1) command. Alternatively, you can prevent unauthorized access to the contents of uploaded files by controlling their owner, group, and mode as described in ``Controlling access to directories''.If the host being configured is an NIS client, creation of the anonymous FTP user account will fail if ftp is present in the passwd map for the NIS domain. To create a local anonymous FTP user, stop NIS using the command sh /etc/inid.d/nis stop, configure anonymous FTP, and then restart NIS using the command sh /etc/inid.d/nis start.
