guest ftp service

2007-12-25 8:47:00

Some time ago I posed a request regarding guest ftp access. Basically I

wanted to specify a guest ftp account that would do a chroot in a

similar fashion to the usual 'ftp' user - but I wanted to put a password

on the guest user so 'ftp' wasn't good enough (wanted to have an

anonymous login as well).

Well, the solution (thanks to all of those offering suggestions BTW) was

to incorporate the now quite widely used wu-ftpd (vers 2.4) which does

the job very nicely thankyou. It allows me to have separate guest users

where I can specify a chroot'ed home directory. I'm impressed with all

the additional features (such as access control) that this daemon offers

as well.

With regards,
