Looking at the port's PLIST, wu-ftpd is probably installed as /usr/local/libexec/ftpd with sample configuration files being /usr/local/etc/ftp*.example. For the system ftp daemon: man 8 ftpd When you log in anonymously, the server chroots to the home directory of the ftp user. This makes symlinks outside of ~ftp/ inaccessable. -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.
