Instructions for 10.2.x (Jaguar)

Sorry folks – I wish I had a good answer here, but I've spent a couple of hours fiddling with trying to get this working, with no success so far.

There are essentially two workarounds:

  1. Create a user account to be used only for FTP
    Need to lock down account so it can't see the rest of the system, can't logon to the command line, etc.
  2. Use a different FTP server
    This means installing a separate FTP server to be used for anonymous FTP. It would have its own permissions system, and would have to run on a custom port (unless you disabled Apple's built-in FTP, which is already using the standard FTP port).
