Hi,

I just wish to get an virtualhost FTP server, but make sure that
this is
Anonymous FTP. I don't want that Login and Password are requested

Is that possible ?

All the tests I made, asked for Login and Password....

Thanks
Every FTP server requires some kind of login, typically at least
"anonymous" with a black password or expecting the user's email address
as a courtesy for the password. Various FTP GUI's simply provide it for
you automatically as "anonymous".

Now, I prefer vsftpd to ProFTPD. It's lighter weight and easier to
configure. Both are vastly, vastly better whan the old wu-ftpd used
early in my career.

Thanks for your reply,

Up to now, I was using Vsftpd, which was fine, as Anonymous... no need
of any password, login.... but this is more complicate to use, when you
are using several FTP server on the same machine (Virtualhost, like I
have with me Apache)

So, use Apache! Uploads can be done with WebDAV/HTTPS, which is vastly
more secure and noticeably more supportable than FPT upload.

I thought that ProFTP would help me to associate each website, with
their own FTP site... but now, I have this login password.. whcih is
annoying. Do you really beleive that everybody will know what to enter ?
Do you think that people won't be discouraged to get into ?

Can you get multiple IP addresses, rather than hostname based virtual
hosting? I find it a lot easier to keep the virtual sites separated this
way.


Yes I suppose that it would be the best to use Apache... :-(

OK THanks !
