Setting Up Anonymous FTP Access

If your site is hosted on a dedicated IP address (not shared by other
users or sites), you can set up a directory within the site, where other
users will be able to anonymously download or upload files through FTP.
Once anonymous FTP is switched on, the users will be able to log in to
the directory at an address like ftp://ftp.your-domain.com with the
“anonymous” username and any password.

To allow anonymous FTP access:

1. Go to Websites & Domains and click FTP Access.

2. Click the Anonymous FTP tab.

3. Do the following:

   1. To activate anonymous FTP service, click Switch On.

   2. To set up a welcoming message to be displayed when users log in to
      FTP site, select the Display login message checkbox and type
      the message text in the input field as desired.

      Note that not all FTP clients display welcoming messages.

   3. To allow visitors to upload files to the /incoming directory,
      select the Allow uploading to incoming directory checkbox.

   4. To allow users to create subdirectories in the /incoming
      directory, select the Allow creation of directories in the
      incoming directory checkbox.

   5. To allow downloading files from the /incoming directory,
      select the Allow downloading from the incoming directory
      checkbox.

   6. To limit the amount of disk space that can be occupied by uploaded
      files, clear the Unlimited checkbox corresponding to the
      Limit disk space in the incoming directory option, and specify
      the amount in kilobytes.

      This is the hard quota: The users will not be able to add more
      files to the directory when the limit is reached.

   7. To limit the number of simultaneous connections to the anonymous
      FTP server, clear the Unlimited checkbox corresponding to the
      Limit number of simultaneous connections option and specify
      the number of allowed connections.

   8. To limit the bandwidth for anonymous FTP connections, clear the
      Unlimited checkbox corresponding to the Limit download
      bandwidth for this virtual FTP domain option and enter the
      maximum bandwidth in kilobytes per second.

4. Click OK.
