configuring ftpd for anonymous access
Hi... I'm trying to set up anonymous ftp access (for no particular
reason, truth be told - I just want to know how to do it) on one of my
Debian boxes and I can't quite get it to work. I followed exactly the
instructions in the ftpd man page, down to the file permissions, etc.
What I get is - I can ftp to the box from itself or over the network
and log in as anonymous. Then I can put files to the directory and
they get transferred all right, and I can get files if I know their
names... but, of course, as you may have guessed by now, I can't list
the contents of the directories. It says that the connection has been
opened successfully, but nothing comes out the other end. The
directories have read and execute access for everyone, so that's not the
problem... and I also did like the man page says and copied ls to
/home/ftp/bin. I added user "ftp" with adduser --system (which, by the
way, is broken in v3.5).
I'm running a mostly hamm system, with netbase 3.02-1 and netstd
3.01-1. There's probably a simple answer to this but I'm not seeing
it... Anybody out there care to shed some light on the problem?
Cheers
Dave
