From the Redhat page:
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/tips/FTP-Setup-Tips/FTP-Setup-T

ips.html

It mentions "Basic configuration setup for both wu-ftpd and proftpd"

Where is proftpd found? How do I install it?
I see no reference to it anywhere else?

I've used this document:
http://www.redhat.com/support/resources/tips/FTP-Setup-Tips/guestftp.ht

ml

I've set up, and re-set Redhat 7.3 numerous times using this document,

and I still can't get a "real" guest ftp account set up.

I've tried to create a guest account with the name of the user = ftpmgr
when I enter through a browser ftp://ftpmgr@IPAddress/ I enter the

server through ftpmgr's home directory and can't get to the root of the

web server.

Using the WS_FTP client, I set the initial site folder to

/var/www/html/ and using the ftpmgr account I am able to ftp to the

site, however the account can navigate to the root / of the server.
