How do you configure an FTP Server for anonymous or regular users?

Open a terminal, become root (or use sudp, if configured) and type the following command: \n\n# yum -y install vsftpd\n\nThis installs vsftpd (the famous "Very Secure Ftp Daemon"). It's the default FTP server in Fedora Core and Red Hat Enterprise Linux. As root, start the Red Hat Security Level configuration script with \n\n# system-config-securitylevel-tui\n\nSelect 'Customize' an on the next screen in the section 'Allow incoming' check the box next to 'FTP'. Go on 'OK' twice. As root, add vsftpd to the list of services with this command:\n\n# /sbin/chkconfig --add vsftpd\n\nThis enables the vsftpd service in runlevels 3 and 5: \n\n# /sbin/chkconfig --level 35 vsftpd on\n\nNext. configure your server. Default setting is very secure, .i.e. its standard configuration only allows anonymous FTP with no write permissions at all. Keep in mind that FTP is a terrible choice for anything else than anonymous FTP because this protocol only supports unencrypted athentification. That means all your user's logins and passwords are transmitted as clear-text. Not good. \n\nIf you still want to enable access for autehnticated/local users see this extensive tutorial here: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7520\n\nMind that vsftpd reads the contents of its vsftpd.conf file only when it starts. So you will have to restart vsftpd for the changes to take effect. Tyoe in this command (as root) to restart the server:\n\n# /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart\n\nYou should consider using something else than FTP outside private networks. SSH is far better, because authentification is public-key encrypted and it can transfer files using the associated SFTP or SCP protocols.\nKind regards

I suggest Red Hat Fedora Core 4 OS.\n\n"ISPs in the area have all been "Shell access? Go away, please," for years."\n\nTrue and they should be if they care about the security on their shared-use servers.  I suggest to go with a dedicated or virtual-dedicated server.  Virtual-dedicated is a new technology out there that allows the affordability of a shared server with the useability of a dedicated server.  Admin access allows you to have root level access and install and run virtually anything on the server.\n\nSee the Virtual Dedicated hosting offer here http://www.xmlwebhost.com/web_hosting.php

First of all you need a company that grants people FTP access unless you allready have one. Then you need a FTP program http://www.internet-soft.com/download4.htm?id=3NKTJXz2z37bYao1nUOg for you to connect to thier server. You have to make sure that sites allow FTP access if it does it should give you an FTP link for you to use and you have to enter a user name and password.

hi, .htaccess is not ONLY allowing restriction to directories. htaccess is used to OVERRIDE the webserver (apache) configuration on a per-directory basis. A file, containing one or more configuration directives, is placed in a particular document directory, and the directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof.\n\nSo back to your question, htaccess is for your http://www.myexamplesite.com/  to put unique configuration to certain directories. \nTo protect ftp://www.myexamplesite.com/ you would need to disable Anonymous user or add a password for them.\n\nIf your on shared hosting, take a look at their control panel and they would have a place to add a password for anonymous or disable anonymous. If you care to use that for your self you can access the ftp by doing this:\nftp://[ USER ]:[ PASSWORD ]@[ DOMAIN ]:[ PORT ]\nwhere:\n[ USER ] = Username to the ftp\n[ PASS ] = Password for that username\n[ DOMAIN ] = The host or IP , in your case it is myexamplesite.com\n[ PORT ] = Whatever port you assigned, in your case it is by default which is 21. \n\nIf you have an option to change your PORT, please change it to a 4-5 digit number not exceeding the maximum 35K. That will increase security slightly.\n\n\nHope I helped

Look for "unnamed pipes", not "anonymous" and msdn.com.\nTry also to find sources at codeproject:

I believe Windows XP has it's own FTP server but it's probably best to use third party software. Filezilla have excellent FTP client and server programs available for free from the first link below. The second 2 are both commercial pieces of software that will do the same job (Bullet Proof FTP and G6 FTP Server).

I think Cute FTP Pro is the best, because It is completely automated. There are option for uploading and if you dont know what to do there are certain options which will help u out.

you should be able to set the server address in the ftp server.

A server will have rights for different logged in users.\nWhen someone uses ftp, they can read the files in folders ONLY if the server has given the right to read to its visitors. eg. Guests. So the things to ask are:\nwhose job is it to decide who can read files? And then you need to contact that person. Other important permissions:\nwho can overwrite files or put files into a directory?\nWho can run executable programs which are sitting in a directory.\n\nUNIX / LINUX has its own ways of deciding these 3 types of permission for each folder: read/write/execute permissions.\nA WINDOWS directory can be shared (a setting you can see in a folder's properties) and the administrator of the machine can decide which users have which rights on that directory.\n\nI don't have a web server. I rent someone else's server and it has its own simplified tools for doing this kind of thing. So this answer is not based on experience but my level of understanding.

Do you HAVE to have a server for this environment? No. Would it be recommended? Possibly, if you want better security for confidential files.
