Hmm there is a package (rpm) on the CDs/ftp site/where ever that sets up
I honestly do not know what the "correct" location -- if there is such a
thing -- is. For as long as I've been using SuSE (since 5.3? mebbe
earlier) it's been in /usr/local/ftp. I'm assuming it's in this location
because the ftp user isn't a "real" user; /home/ is generally where "real"
users live.

Ah yes. ftpdir. This is for SuSE 6.2 tho. Chances are the name hasn't changed. I don't know what set of packages you would find it in tho.

I'm looking at setting up FTP access to my machine, at least for me for now. I used to use Red Hat 6.2, and found that when Red Hat was installed, the /home/ftp was set with all of the appropriate folders (pub, bin, etc.)
Looking at this directory after SuSE 6.4 was installed, I notice that there is just the lost+found directory. Is there a document that shows what to set up in /home/ftp/ for folders, what the purpose of each folder is, and how to allow access for both anonymous users, and users who have an account on my machine? I understand that the install of SuSE 6.4 probably did not set this automatically, as I can see how someone might take advantage of an ftp site if the owner of the machine was unaware of what was going.
Any pointers in the right direction?
