can't make anonymous ftp work

[jlasman]

I can't make anonymous ftp work.

I went so far as to delete the entire site to rebuild it on an "owned" IP.

That's the status now; it's on an owned IP.

On the User Panel for the site, under anonymous FTP settings, allow anonymous ftp is checked.

But I still get login errors.

Any ideas?

What login info are you using?

I -think- DA requires anonymous@domain.tld be used as the username.

If it does it's useless for anonymous ftp, since ftp is a specific protocol with specific login requirements.

The login requirement is quite simple:

server name: ftp.nobaloney.net
login: anonymous
password: <youremailaddress>

and that's why it requires dedicated IP#.

If this doesn't work, then we can't use it for anonymous ftp, as this is what everyone expects.

I'm still awaiting a response from John and/or Mark.

If necessary I'll run the anonymous ftp sites on another server.

I just checked, and if a site is on a dedicated IP DA does tell you use use simply "anonymous" as the login. I can also confirm the login error. 220 ProFTPD 1.2.8 Server ready.
Host type (1): Automatic detect
USER anonymous
331 Password required for anonymous.
PASS (hidden)
530 Login incorrect.

So maybe it's a bug and no on has tried anonymous ftp yet :( .

Yeah, we'll find out I guess :D

Hello,

For anyone else having this problem, a simple proftpd restart fixed the problem. I'll have to look at the code to see what it's doing (it *should* be calling it). Since it's restarting proftpd to enable anonymous access for owned IP domains, it can take upto 1 minute to do so... I'll look into the issue.

Cool, that worked great. (was an instantaneous restart too.)
