Redhat 6.2 comes with the option to install a FTP Server, but it doesn't come with an upload directory. The pub directory works fine, but what permissions do I have to change to allow anonymous users to upload to my upload directory? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

They need to be able to write to it.
However... As I recall, RH still installs wu-ftpd by default, which can cause some security problems. I would go to www.informit.com (http://www.informit.com) and get an account, and then checkout RedHat Linux Unleashed - then look at (I think) chapter 47 - it explains how to setup ncftpd with a chroot environment - much better for security.
