Anonymous FTP access enables
visitors to download or upload files to your
web site as if you were running your own FTP
server. The Anonymous FTP area is completely
separate and apart from your web site files and
folders.
When you first access this
icon in your Control Panel, you will see this
message:
"Anonymous FTP has not been
installed for your domain. To install Anonymous
FTP, please click: Install AnonFTP"
Once you select this option, the
system replies with:
"Install AnonFTP Operation
submitted to the server for processing The operation
will be completed within the next 10 minutes "
Once installed, the AnonFTP
screen will now say: "Anonymous FTP is currently
avaliable. If you would like to remove Anonymous
FTP, please click: Remove AnonFTP". After
clicking remove you will see this message: " Remove
AnonFTP Operation submitted to the server for
processing The operation will be completed within
the next 10 minutes"
If you choose to allow uploads
to your FTP site, you still bear responsibility
for the content posted to your account, even
by others. For example, if someone were to post
material to your domain which is in violation
of our AUP (i.e. pornogrpahy, copyrighted material,
etc.) your account could be suspended or terminated.
All FTP data transfer is
counted against your monthly bandwidth. Also,
all files within the FTP area count against the
disk storage allotment.
Visitors wishing to access
your site via FTP need to use your domain name
as the FTP hostname, a username of 'anonymous'
and password 'guest'. When people connect to
your FTP site, they will see the following directories:
/bin/, /dev/, /etc/, /incoming/, /lib/, and /pub/. "/pub/" is
where you should put the files you want to make
available for public download. "/incoming/" is
the folder for your users to upload files into
- this is the only folder in your FTP site that
can be written to by anonymous users.
To access the anonymous FTP
site from a browser, use the following address:
ftp://yourdomain.com/pub/
