Your anonymous ftp site is completely different from your web
site.
When people ftp to your domain anonymously, they will see the following
directories:
bin/ dev/ etc/ incoming/ lib/ pub/
"pub" is where you should put all your anonymously accessible files.
"incoming" is for the anonymous users to upload files.
For security the following applies
You are responsible for any "pirated" software uploaded by the anonymous users.
The anonymous
ftp sites will be periodically monitored for any abuses.
You may ignore the other directories.
To access the anonymous FTP site via the web, use the
following address:
ftp://yourdomain.com/pub/
Your HTML to download a file called mirc511s.exe from a
webpage would look like this:
<A
HREF="ftp://yourdomain.com/pub/mirc511s.exe">Download Mirc Now</A>
You should tell your visitors that they may need to right-click on the link if they are PC users, or if they use a Macintosh, they need to hold down the mouse button on the link, then select the appropriate option from the Pop-up menu.
To password protect different directories on your domain you can use the Virtual Publisher Security System (for qualifying accounts). If you have this on your account, the administrator's page with directions and forms for entering new directories and users is found at: http://www.yourdomain.com/password/admin.html
Using Netscape or Internet Explorer, you can create secure directories and add users and passwords. The admin page is very simple to use.
Note for Front Page users: If you are using Front Page, then it is very important that any directory you are trying to protect be world readable. This is done by the following Unix command: chmod 777 directory-name. The main directory and any subdirectories will need to be changed in this way. By default we make the /secure and the /password directory chmod 777 for you.
A file already exists in the www directory of your server. It's called missing.html. You can edit it to your liking, or create your own. As long as it's called missing.html and it's in your root www directory, the server will display it whenever someone tries to access a page on your domain that does not exist.
