 Anonymous
FTP
Domain accounts include an anonymous
FTP server. When enabled, this server allows anonymous users to download
(and optionally upload) files from/to a specific directory within your
account.
To activate anonymous FTP, create
an /ftp directory within your document root (/htdocs)
directory. This directory will appear via anonymous FTP at ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/ftp/.
(It will also appear on the web at http://www.yourdomain.com/ftp/).
Anonymous FTP users will be able
to view and download files in the /ftp directory, and in any of its
subdirectories. They will not be able to view files outside of the /ftp
directory.
WARNING:
By default, anonymous FTP users cannot upload
files (their access is read-only). Although you may change the permissions
to allow write-access to the anonymous FTP directory with your FTP client
or Webby, Xenoplanet HIGHLY DISCOURAGES
this practice. You will be allowing third-parties to upload content
which might cause your site to violate our policies or which might cause
your site to exceed your disk space allotment, resulting in charges
to your account. Also: Xenoplanet reserves
the right to delete, at any time, any files, in any directory which
anonymous FTP upload has been enabled, and/or disabled this feature
as necessary, without notice.
A better solution is to create
one or more additional FTP accounts and selectively
distribute the password(s). Or use the WebDropBox feature to allow people
to upload files.
To activate your Anonymous FTP account, contact Xenoplanet
