Oh, this folder can't be witeable either. Well, first you'll need to create the user and group. You can do that with UserDrake or whatever you prefer for that. For the shell, you want to specify /sbin/nologin so they can't log in to your machine as a regular user. >From proftpd documentation: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/faq/linked/faq-ch5.html#AEN559 Add to your /etc/proftpd.conf file <Anonymous ~username> AnonRequirePassword off User username Group groupname RequireValidShell off <Directory *> <Limit WRITE> DenyAll </Limit> </Directory> </Anonymous> That lets them log on using whatever username you give and will take an email addy for a password. They are not allowed to write to any directory. The trick is to have the ftp look in a directory that's not in /var/ftp. You can use another directory as ftp document root, but I think you have to"mount" it as that. See http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/localsite/Userguide/linked/chroot-symlinks.html for instructions on that.
