Hi
I've got a Debian box that I've installed proftpd using Synaptic.
Anyway I've edited the /etc/proftpd.conf file and uncommented the
section to allow anonymous ftp access. It all seems fine well to the
extent that I can't see anything wrong with it. But when someone tries
to log in with the anonymous user name. The FTP client on their
machine gives back a 530 Login Incorrect error. I've checked through
the docs for proftp and looked at the FAQ's on their website. I've got
the appropriate aliases setup in proftpd.conf also.
If I try logging in with a normal user account e.g. my own one I can
log in just fine. Sorry about the length of this email. Anyone got
any suggestions as to whats going on with the anonymous logins?
Cheers
Rory
