    Exclamation Anonymous FTP broken

    At 1st there was this,
    421 Unable to set up secure anonymous FTP
    I searched on here for possible solutions.
    I fixed the symlink in /etc/pure-ftpd/ipaddress as /var/ftp did not exist.
    Now when I login to ftp.customersdomain.com it goes to /var/ftp

    All anonymous settings in WHM and cPanel are enabled.

    I checked the users ftp config in /etc/proftpd/username
    Here are the contents:
    USERNAME:password:32077:32078::/home/USERNAME:/bin/bash
    ftp:*:14:50:FTP User:/home/USERNAME/public_ftp:/sbin/nologin
    USERNAME_logs:password:32077:32078:USERNAME:/usr/local/apache/domlogs:/bin/ftpsh
    Ive removed the username and password

    I think this is an issue with all my cPanel servers.

    Well....we have the same problem and guess what...you can keep screaming because pure-ftpd dont support anonymous ftp on a shared ip, it means, it support it but it share the same direcory for all the shared ip based accounts. If you wish each account with its own public_ftp directory then the account must be ip based.

    I wish cPanel alert us about these things before put a big warning message saying to switch from proftpd.
