: Anonymous FTP Site

With your own domain name site, you can additionally have an anonymous FTP site at ftp://ftp.YOURDOMAIN/pub/SITENAME.    This will allow you to provide files to the general community via FTP. It can also allow anyone to upload files to your FTP site for retrieval later if so desired.  A daily statistic report is emailed to you with this service.  The current rates for this service are listed on the Services Page.

Below are described some of the anonymous FTP services.  Please note that these are only available to clients who have an anonymous FTP account with Speedsoft.

Incoming Directory

In some cases it would be desirable to allow your users to upload to your anonymous FTP server.  Separating these files into their own directory is a form of damage control.  If someone uploads a virus hopefully its damage is confined to the incoming directory.  If you see no reason to permit uploads then there is no reason to create one.

To make an incoming directory create a directory where you want to allow people to upload files to. Then upload a text file (in ASCII mode) named ".ftpaccess" in that directory which contains the following:

<Limit ALL>
DenyAll
DenyUser !YOURUSERNAME
</Limit>

<Limit STOR CWD XCWD>
AllowAll
</Limit>

Daily Statistics Report

A daily statistic report will be emailed to you at midnight showing total downloads from your anonymous FTP site listed by each file downloaded.  It also shows the time of each login, time of each download, file traffic, host the visitor came from, and anonymous password they used to login.
