Anonymous FTP Upload Dir ? 2

[admoore]

One of my ISP host providers restricts anonymous incoming FTP's to a specific "incoming" directory- Anonymous users can on write to the incoming sub-directory and can't see any files within-

I would like to duplicate this arrangement on a Linux box on our network...

Is this just a permissions issue that could be setup w/ chmod?

TIA for help...

No, it will be something you have to configure in your FTP server.

OK,

I use the PureFTP Daemon...

Can someone advise me how to make this configuration?

TIA,

Try [tt]man ftpd[/tt]. On Solaris, and I'm sure other flavors of unix, it gives full instructions on setting up a chrooted anonymous ftp server. Which is what you want.

Hope this helps.

There is a package for Linux called anonftp, install this and have a look at the man pages for it.

I normally use the /bin, /etc and others from the package for the normal FTP users chroot enviroments.

your ftp program should have some conf file. you need to edit the conf file and make some entries to limit.

i use proftpd and the anonymous user entry has the following (apart from other details)

<Directory ~ftpuser/incoming>
<Limit STOR>
AllowAll
</Limit>
</Directory>

here the directory is the anonymous user directory
Limit says STOR which means storing only is allowed and user cant delete it.

hope this leads you to configure your site. just man your ftp program and you can easily get it.

If you are using pure-ftpd the configuration file is located in a file called pure-ftpd.conf. On Suse Linux its located at /etc/pure-ftpd. If you need to find the file just> find / -name pure-ftpd.conf.Take a look at the configuration file and all you questions will be answered. Of course read the header because to use the configuration file you will have to start pure-ftpd a little differently.
