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.

       The following operands are supported:

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