TOPIC

    I understand that I can configure my computer to allow guest (anonymous) access to my files using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). How do I do this in Mac OS X Server?

DISCUSSION

    In order to set up anonymous FTP, first create a user named ftp in Network Manager. In the home directory, create the following directories:

    bin
    usr/lib
    System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/Versions/B

    Copy the following files to their respective corresponding directories in the ftp directory:

    /bin/ls
    /usr/lib/dyld
    /System/Library/Frameworks/System.framework/Versions/B/System

    A complete directory listing is below. If dyld and the System framework are not copied, ls will not list any files.
