My email is p_gates@one.net first of all, did you read the handbook ? I guess no. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-post.html#ANON-FTP2 also, questions like this are best in questions@freebsd.org however, begin to read `man ftpd', then : add the following line to your password file (using vipw) : guestftp:*:1005:1005::0:0:guest FTP user:/home/guestftp:/sbin/nologin this one to /etc/group : guestftp::1005: and this one to /etc/ftpchroot : @guestftp make sure `guestftp' doesn't exists in /etc/ftpusers and eventually complete /etc/ftpwelcome w/ a message of your own. of course, don't forget to create the user directory using : mkdir -m 770 /home/guestftp; chown 1005:1005 /home/guestftp cd /home/guestftp mkdir .rhosts; touch .rhosts/disabled; chmod 0 .rhosts mkdir .shosts; touch .shosts/disabled; chmod 0 .shosts mkdir .ssh; touch .ssh/disabled; chmod 0 .ssh to set up a true anonymous ftp, read the ftpd manual page or the lukemftpd depending of your choice. also read the handbook reference given above. PS : your lines are too long. they MUST be 72 car. max. long.
