Re: Recommendation for FTP server

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@panix.com>]

If I were setting up an ftp server, I would create a /pub directory in 
/home and would also create a /home/pub/incoming directory then lock any 
guest into the /home/pub and /home/pub/incoming directories.  The 
/home/pub directory would be where I'd put files available for download 
and the /home/pub/incoming/ directory is where guests could upload files 
if they wanted to do so.  You'll find that setup on many professional 
ftp servers that have been on the internet for many years by now.
