[cobalt-users] RE: anonymous ftp question (Amanda John)

[Brian C <briancbwg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Amanda,

Try putting your files into the anonymous root directory.  Not inside the
/incoming directory.  The RaQ will make all files in the /incoming directory
invisible and inaccessible to everyone but the administrator (admin login).

You can also create a new directory in the anonymous root dir. labeled "pub"
(minus the quotes).  This is pretty much standard practice for public files.

In summary, your root directory should contain the following:

/incoming
/pub (optional)
filename.jpg
filename.tif
filename.txt

(where "filename" is the files you will make downloadable)

The path to the anonymous root directory on the RaQ4r is:

/home/sites/www.domain.com/ftp/


Yet another option:

Add directories to the anonymous root directory possibly listed by client
name.  You can change the read/write permissions as you see fit for file
accessibility.  Or change read/write permissions of the file itself.

Remember, there's no limit to how many directories/sub-directories you use.

Hope this helped,
