I would recommend going with bsd-ftpd instead. It is a classic ftp server and probably more in the style of what you are looking for. But it is personal preference. apt-get install bsd-ftpd > the ftpd is installed. Trying in Firefox: > ftp://localhost > 530 Login incorrect. It appears that ftp is configured anonymous ftp is not configured. Try this with your existing ftpd to see if there is an option to enable anonymous ftp. dpkg-reconfigure ftpd Also remember that ftp is an insecure protocol for anything other than anonymous ftp because it sends the passwords in the clear.
