How to setup anonymous FTP setup

1. Create the FTP home directory structure: mkdir /export/ftp/pub
mkdir /export/ftp/bin
mkdir /export/ftp/dev

mkdir /export/ftp/etc mkdir /export/ftp/usr mkdir /export/ftp/usr/lib

2. Add the ls command to the FTP bin directory: cp /usr/bin/ls /export/ftp/bin
chmod 111 /export/ftp/bin/ls

3. Copy the necessary libraries into the FTP directory structure: cp /usr/lib/ld.so* /export/ftp/usr/lib
cp /usr/lib/libc.so.1 /usr/lib/libdl.so.1 /export/ftp/usr/lib
cp /usr/lib/libintl.so.1 usr/lib/libw.so.1 /export/ftp/usr/lib

cp /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/netconfig /export/ftp/etc

4. Copy the necessary files into the FTP directory structure to resolve NIS names: cp /usr/lib/nss*.so.1 /export/ftp/usr/lib
cp /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1 /export/ftp/usr/lib
cp /usr/lib/straddr.so /export/ftp/usr/lib

cp /etc/nsswitch.conf /export/ftp/etc

5. Set the permissions for the /export/ftp/usr/lib and /export/ftp/etc directories: chmod 555 /export/ftp/usr/lib/*
chmod 444 /export/ftp/etc/*

6. Set the permissions of all the created directories: chmod 555 /export/ftp/usr/lib
chmod 555 /export/ftp/usr
chmod 555 /export/ftp/bin

chmod 555 /export/ftp/dev chmod 555 /export/ftp/etc chmod 755 /export/ftp/pub chmod 555 /export/ftp

7. Add the following line to the /etc/passwd file: ftp:x:30000:30000:Anonymous FTP:/export/ftp:/bin/false

8. Add the following line to the /etc/shadow file: ftp:NP:6445::::

9. Make sure that everything is owned by root and not by FTP: chown -R root /export/ftp
