> Do I need special setup for anonymous login to work?
yes, via addftpuser/rmftpuser:
% addftpuser --group tong Adding system user `ftp' (UID 102) ... Adding new group `ftp' (GID 104) ... Adding new user `ftp' (UID 102) with group `ftp' ... Not creating home directory `/home/ftp'. The anonymous FTP user has been successfully set up.
Without addftpuser, will get:
$ ftp localhost Connected to my.host.org. 220 my.host.org FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2(1) Fri Jul 27 12:19:39 UTC 2007) ready. Name (localhost:tong): anonymous 331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password. Password: 530 Login incorrect. Login failed. ftp> 221 Goodbye.
After enabling anonymous login:
