- There is a file called ftpaccess, which should be placed correctly (e.g.
- /etc ) AND should contain the correct entries that match your situation.
- Especially the line
-
- class local real,anonymous nobugs friday nanno xxx.xxx.xxx.* 0.0.0.0
-
- is important for users to gain access. Replace the xxx.xxx.xxx with the
- site part of your internet address and everything should work fine.
