I have a VDS account with FCD and cannot seem to for love nor money get anonymous ftp working.
All me and my hosts want is to be able to go to say ftp.domainname.here/directory and access ftp - no need to put in the username or password details.
So through ftp config in WHM I've enables anonymous ftp then in cpanel done the same but still no joy.
I've tried to read up on pureftpd and proftpd (reading the docs on their respective sites) but nothing to be honest has made much sense to me. The only thing of note came from the pureftpd FAQ:
"To run an anonymous FTP server you must have a *system* account called
'ftp'. Don't give it any valid shell, just a home directory. That home
directory is the anonymous area."
To be honest, this doesn't really make sense to me...
Currently using proftpd but had no joy with that either.
Hope someone can help.

PS. The error I currently recieve is:
"530-Unable to set anonymous privileges.
530 login incorrect."
With pureftpd the error is slightly different - something to do with an inability to setup security - or something similar.
