home directory question
I am trying to set up an anonymous ftp. Part of the instructions involve working with the 'home' directory. I am working on an HP-9000. What do I do if I have no 'home' directory? Should I be creating one?
thank you
thank you

Re: home directory question
Shalom,
Anonymous ftp, which should be avoided where possible does work with a "home" directory.
Its not a real home because there is no user and there is no ability to log in. I would describe it as a default upload/download point instead of using the word home.
Usually it defaults to the /pub subdirectory of the ftp root.

Re: home directory question

Not a very useful description of the hardware
or the software.
uname -a

Who is "I"? Anonymous FTP normally involves
a directory tree, the head of which is
specified as the home directory for the user
"ftp".
http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-60130/ftpd.1M.html
> Should I be creating one?
If there isn't one already, then probably
yes.
The anonymous FTP directory should be
set up as follows:
[...]
Note that you need to follow the instructions
if you expect "ls" ("LIST") to work properly.
A Forum search for keywords like, say
anonymous FTP
should find many old thread on this topic.
(But "man ftpd" is probably more reliable.)
