I've been trying to get wu-ftp up and running under 2.0R with no luck.
Both the package on the CD and the source from WU (which I built)
execute and prompt for username and password, but it just won't
let anonymous users in. Here's a sample session:
OPEN ftp.netpath.com
220 ns.netpath.com FTP server (Version wu-2.4(3) Tue Jun 20 16:38:51 CDT 1995) ready.
USER anonymous
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
PASS ********
550 Can't set guest privileges.
I have defined an ftp user in /etc/passwd, given him a login directory, but
won't let him login via telnet etc., and setup an ftp group. The ftp login
directory looks like this:
dr-xr-xr-x 5 root ftp 512 Jun 8 16:51 ftp
My ftpaccess file contains:
class anonymouses anonymous *
I could show you more, but I'm not sure what is relevant. Any suggestions
and/or step-by-step instructions will be gratiously appreciated. Oh yes, I
have the O'Reilly 'managing internet systems....' book and have followed
it faithfully, but still no anonymouses.
TIA,
Jeff
