ONLINE MANUAL
Your anonymous FTP site is completely different from your website. When people FTP to your domain anonymously, they will see the following directories:
bin
dev
etc
incoming
lib
pub
"Pub" is where you should put all your anonymously accessible files. "Incoming" is for the anonymous users to upload files. anonymous ftp is disabled by default. Please ask us to enable it if you wish users to be able to access files via anonymous ftp. You are responsible for any "pirated" software uploaded by the anonymous users. The anonymous FTP sites will be periodically monitored for any abuses. You may ignore the other directories (bin, dev, etc, and lib).
You may tell your visitors that they can visit your anonymous FTP site by typing "yourdomain.com" as the hostname, "anonymous" as their username, and their complete email address as the password.
To access the anonymous FTP site via the web, use the
following address:
ftp://yourdomain.com/pub/
Your HTML to download a file called mirc511s.exe from a
webpage would look like this:
<A
HREF="ftp://yourdomain.com/pub/mirc511s.exe">Download Mirc Now</A>
You should tell your visitors that they may need to right-click on the link if they are PC users, or if they use a Macintosh, they need to hold down the mouse button on the link, then select the appropriate option from the Pop-up menu.
To password protect a directory you must make a file named ".htaccess". Place this file in the directory you wish to limit access to. In this file put the following:
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
require user username
</Limit>
AuthType Basic
AuthName www.yourdomain.com
Where username is the name of the sub-account you wish to grant access.
Note for Front Page users: If you are using Front Page, then it is very important that any directory you are trying to protect be world readable. This is done by the following Unix command: chmod 777 directory-name. The main directory and any subdirectories will need to be changed in this way.
