THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK

Naming your Virtual FTP

service

The standard for naming FTP and other services is usually

ftp.yourdomain.com.

If your domain name is registered, your virtual anonymous FTP services are

in the standard form above.

Anonymous and Non Anonymous FTP

Your Virtual Server supports Anonymous FTP that anyone can access

without a password, and Non Anonymous FTP that requires a username and

password. If you use Anonymous FTP, the users enter "anonymous" or

"FTP" for the username and their E mail address for the password.

Your Anonymous FTP Directory

Anonymous FTP is the safest way to grant users access to the virtual FTP

service, because they are restricted to your home FTP directory. When you

restrict user access and permissions, you limit potential harm that users can

cause.

Your FTP directory is your home directory, and by default it contains only

the PUB sub directory. The PUB directory contains the archive files

available to anonymous FTP customers. You should place files the

customers need to access in the PUB directory. You can create other

directories as needed.
