Thanks for all the replies!

The replies I got can be summarized as:

1) Disallow access for anonymous users by either removing the ftp user
from the password file or adding ftp to /etc/ftpusers

2) Change the write permissions on pub (which is the directory I want to
protect) to disallow writes.

The first solution does not solve my problem.  I want to allow anonymous
users to download from my machine but I dont want them to be able to
upload files or create directories.  The second solution doesnt work 
might work.  I had my permission set as 755 on the pub directory and have
changed them to 555.  That seems to disallow creating directories and
I can still copy files to the directory as root.

Thanks again for the help!
FM
