I know that. But I need it in this case.

Looked there. Haven't been able to find out why it doesn't work. I've
been setting up anon ftp on Linux and other Unix boxes for years. The
only time uploads were denied was when I hadn't set write permission to
the directory. Now apparently Redhat has set something up to deny
uploads, and I can't find what it is.
(RAND MODE: This is what I hate about Redhat and rpms. They do
"what's best for you" without telling you what they did, or how to
change it if you want to. And yes, I've been to www.redhat.com - they
just say "to run anon ftp, simply install the anon-ftp rpm. For further
information, look at the ftpaccesss man page." I went there, but it
doesn't tell me how they stopped write access.)

Meaning you can only upload (ie write access) to the ./incoming
directory. This allows uploads, but reduces the security risk.
