Answer

090.   How do I use the anonymous ftp site?

Your anonymous ftp site is completely different from your web site.

When people ftp to your domain anonymously, they will see the following
directories:

bin/ dev/ etc/ incoming/ lib/ pub/

"pub" is where you should put all your anonymously accessible files.
"incoming" is for the anonymous users to upload files. You are responsible
for any "pirated" software uploaded by the anonymous users. The anonymous
ftp sites will be periodically monitored for any abuses.

Note that the files uploaded in the “incoming” directory aren’t visibles to other users. If you need that one file uploaded should be visible, you must copy the file from the “incoming” directory and put in the public directory making it world-readables.
In a telnet session the following do the trick:
cp /ftp/login-name/incoming/file /ftp/login-name/pub/file
chmod a+r /ftp/your-login-name/pub/file


You may ignore the other directories.
