I only know that anonymous only works with dedicated IP...

 

[parhelic]

Yep, the site has its own dedicated IP address.

proftpd.conf

See /etc/proftpd.conf , specially betwen directives :

<Anonymous>
...
</Anonymous>

by example, for incoming directory

<Directory incoming>
<Limit STOR>
AllowAll
</Limit>
<Limit WRITE READ>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Directory>

Link in cpanel under manage anonymous ftp.

Go to your cpanel and click on Manage Anonymous FTP then you will find a link
Allow anonymous upload to ftp://ftp.domain.com/incoming/tr>

Put a check in the box and it works.

Thanks techark

I enabled that option, but I'm still getting the same error when attempting to uploading anything to incoming/

553 Anonymous users may not overwrite existing files

This server is running pure-ftpd however, but my /etc/pure-ftpd.conf looks to be configured correctly for anonymous users.

Anyone else having this problem?

 

[Skysaber]

Yes, this is a little ridiculous

Anon FTP is something that shouldn't be so difficult. Has anybody ever gotten this to work???

 

[parhelic]

I've never found the solution either

Hosting VirtualHosts on a single IP:

This is not possible to do in the same way as it is with Apache / http, this is not a failing of ProFTPD but rather a problem with the basic ftp protocol which as no method of uniquely identifying the target host during a session. The only work around at this time is to use a different primary port for each virtual if more than one per IP is required.

Not sure exactly how that relates to the error:
