NAME
       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS
       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION
       The  ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous
       FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server by
       specifying  the	user  name   ftp  or  anonymous	 and  the user's email
       address as password. The anonymous users	 are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access  to a restricted file area with its own file
       system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its  own  minimal	system
       files.

       This  command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate
       an anonymous FTP server, including creating the ftp user account,  cre‐
       ating  device nodes, copying /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.
       The passwd and group files set up have been stripped  down  to  prevent
       malicious  users from finding login names on the server.	 The anonymous
       file area will be placed under ftpdir. If the ftp user account  already
       exists,	then  the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it
       are updated. All other files are left untouched. This command should be
       run  to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system
       patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS
       -d     Create a new or update an existing ftpdir	 without  creating  or
	      updating	the  ftp  user	account. Use this option when creating
	      guest FTP user accounts.

OPERANDS
       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	 The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anony‐
		 mous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0     Successful completion

       1     Improper usage of the command

       2     Command failed
