Just in case someone is interested. I configured proftpd with: ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
The example config allow unlimited anonymous upload and 3 anonymous download, with download locked at 20000 kb/s. So, uploader can always login as a result. the anonymous account is linked to a real user account ftp (shell /bin/false). The direcotries /home/ftp and /home/ftpdown must have owner ftp:ftp -- The pivotal point is the "second chance", judged by another set of force and farce.
