Does anyone know how to change the root directory for anonymous FTP to
other than /var/ftp???? My problem is I have lots of files to put
there.

I changed the user "FTP" everywhere I could find it, to point to
/home/ftp, to no avail.

This is my only hangup to swapping my web and ftp server to the
FreeBSD box.
