Well, you can add an ``ftp'' user to your system. However doing so
can introduce security problems, if not done properly ...
It depends on exactly what you want to do (anonymous only?
read/write? give ordinary users accounts?), you could try the
``password file'' approach.
Firstly, create a subdirectory somewhere which will be
where the FTP server can read _and_ write. For instance, if
you had a user ``rich'', then you might create:
/home/rich/guest-uploads/
This directory should be owned by ``rich'' too.
Now edit /etc/ftpd.conf and add this configuration directive:
allow anonymous: false
password file: /etc/ftpd.passwd
Now edit /etc/ftpd.passwd, and add one line to it:
guest:ab01FAX.bQRSU:rich:/home/rich/guest-uploads
(as an example). This would allow user ``guest'', password ``123456''
to access the guest-uploads directory, for read _and_ write.
If you want some other sort of configuration, you'll need to let us
know a bit more about what you do and don't want users to be able to
do.
Rich.
