DESCRIPTION

16       The  ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous
17       FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server by
18       specifying  the  user  name   ftp  or  anonymous  and  the user's email
19       address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
20       Server  and  given  access  to a restricted file area with its own file
21       system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its  own  minimal  system
22       files.

25       This  command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate
26       an anonymous FTP server, including creating the ftp user account,  cre‐
27       ating  device nodes, copying /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.
28       The passwd and group files set up have been stripped  down  to  prevent
29       malicious  users from finding login names on the server.  The anonymous
30       file area will be placed under ftpdir. If the ftp user account  already
31       exists,  then  the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it
32       are updated. All other files are left untouched. This command should be
33       run  to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system
34       patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.
