cannot enable anonymous FTP

    Hi,


    I would like to enable proftpd's anonymous FTP functionality.


    I tried adding this to /etc/proftpd/proftdp.conf, but for some reason it's not working:


    Code
    1. <Anonymous /usr/local/ftp> User ftp Group nogroup # We want clients to be able to login with "anonymous" as well as "ftp" UserAlias anonymous ftp # Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins MaxClients 5RequireValidShell off # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed # in each newly chdired directory. DisplayLogin /etc/ftpwelcome.txt DisplayChdir .messageSQLEngine off # Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot <Directory *> <Limit WRITE> DenyAll </Limit> <Limit READ DIRS> IgnoreHidden on </Limit> </directory></Anonymous>


    Here is what is in the log file:


    Code
    1. févr. 27 13:19:30 XXX proftpd[14471] XXX (XXX): FTP session opened.
    2. févr. 27 13:19:30 XXX proftpd[14471] XXX (XXX): USER ftp: no such user found from XXX [XXX] to XXX:21
    3. févr. 27 13:19:30 XXX proftpd[14471] XXX (XXX): FTP session closed.


    Because of the SQLEngine off, proftpd should not try to use "ftp" (or "anonymous") to login... but it seems like it does!


    Does anyone have some idea how to enable anonymous FTP with i-mpsc ?


    Cheers, Julian
