To let this work you need to change the default anonymous directory of the
ftp server to /opt/mbse/pub. As root, edit /etc/passwd with the <b>vipw</b>
command. Look for the entry of the ftp user and change his homedirectory to
/opt/mbse/ftp. You may also use the command <b>usermod -d /opt/mbse/ftp ftp</b>
to do the same. For a start the default configuration file for ProFTPD will do
fine. If you want to let users upload into the incoming directory, you need to
change /etc/proftpd.conf file to allow that.
