I am the security folks, and, yes, anonymous not only gives me chills,
but a really bad case of gas ;-)

Subject: Re: FTP Initial Directory

Well, I don't know if they need to create a directory, but it's a cinch
FTP
expects one. That's why I asked what will happen if he does NOT create
one.

Yes, your users default to their "home" directory. It appears that FTP
forces everyone's users to default to their home directories. Why? Some
people may have no use for a home directory.

Question for the OP: will anonymous mode help? Or does that bring chills
to
the auditors and/or security folks?

Charles
