Anonymous FTP Feature Management

This page is used to set up and manage Anonymous FTP account for the domain.

This feature is used to set up an ftp site for the domain in addition to a www site. If you want to give free access to this site using ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com URL and anonymous:their@email.com login/password phrase you should click Enable/Disable button at top of the page. This feature can only work for the domain with IP-based Physical Hosting because of FTP protocol peculiarities. Root directory for the site can be accessed by the domain administrator via his/her ftp account in /anon_ftp directory. When visitors come to Anonymous FTP virtual domain, they access /anon_ftp as a root directory.

To set up a welcoming message to be displayed when users log in to FTP site, select the Display login message checkbox and type the message text in the input field as desired. Note, that not all FTP clients display welcoming messages.

In order to allow visitors to upload files to domain's Anonymous FTP you should check the Allow uploading to incoming directory checkbox. This grants everyone necessary permissions to upload files into /incoming directory. Note that the visitors are only allowed to upload files but NOT download files from /incoming directory. This will help prevent from exploiting your Anonymous FTP virtual domain as a warez store. After a file is uploaded by visitor, domain administrator can download it from /anon_ftp/incoming directory through his/her ftp account.

To allow users to create nested directories in the /incoming directory, select the Allow creation of directories in the incoming directory checkbox.

To allow downloading from the /incoming directory, select the Allow downloading from the incoming directory checkbox.

In order to prevent from abusing the Anonymous FTP virtual domain you can limit maximum simultaneous connections or/and limit bandwidth per one connection as well as the disk space by checking appropriate checkbox and entering desired value into Limit disk space in the incoming directory field, Limit number of simultaneous connections field and Limit download bandwidth for this virtual FTP domain field.
