Anonymous FTP Administration Setup

To enable anonymous ftp on this server you will need to follow these steps:

  1. Set a password for the user id ftpadmin via the Change a users password function on the Account Administration page.

  2. Log in to your server using the ftpadmin ID, and the password just selected.

  3. Add/remove any files you wish to supply for anonymous ftp.
Key Directories and Files:
  1. ~/pub is the directory to put files in to make them accessible by anonymous ftp.

  2. ~/msgs/welcome.msg contains the initial message

  3. README* files in any directory will cause a message (example message shown below) to be displayed the first time an anonymous user enters the directory containing that file.
    Please read the file README

  4. .message files are displayed the first time an anonymous user enters the directory containing a .message file. (note: the file name starts with a .)

    A sample message(~/msgs/welcome.msg):

    Welcome to serv1.scnc.k12.mi.us!
    
     Note: all transfers to and from this system are logged.  If you
