Default directory for anonymous users:
/var/ftp/
User permissions:
/etc/ftpusers
You could remove the line:
deny-uid %-99 %65534-
to allow remote root access
but you won’t!/etc/ftpaccess
You would also need to remove the line:
deny-gid %-99 %65534-
here to allow remote root access.
But don’t.
If you’re using vsftpd:
/etc/vsftp.ftpusers
/etc/fsftp.ftp.user_list
You could remove the line:
root
from both these files to allow remote root access.
Safe sharing:
1. Create a user devoted to ftp. The user name ftp, however, is likely to be taken already on your computer. Choose another name, say, chuck.
2. chuck should have a home at /home/chuck. Go there. Create a subdirectory called ftp.
3. chown chuck ftp #since you created it but you’re not chuck
4. Edit /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd
Change:
disable = yes
to:
disable = no5. /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd restart
