Bad decision imho, but if you must:

ftp://ftp.iss.net/pub/faq/anonftp

Seriously consider NOT having upload capability, but if you must make
uploaded files "invisible" to an ls command, and seriously consider a
separate partition for ftp. Use quotas.

Again, have you thought about the risks of hardwiring an anon ftp server
into the 'Net? It's not for amateurs. No you *really* need this?

Read and heed that faq! If you get into warez I will disown you.
