1.2. Anonymous FTP Configuration
By default vsftpd is not configured to allow anonymous download. If you wish to enable anonymous download edit /etc/vsftpd.conf by changing:
anonymous_enable=Yes
During installation a ftp user is created with a home directory of /srv/ftp. This is the default FTP directory.
If you wish to change this location, to /srv/files/ftp for example, simply create a directory in another location and change the ftp user's home directory:
sudo mkdir /srv/files/ftp
sudo usermod -d /srv/files/ftp ftp
After making the change restart vsftpd:
sudo systemctl restart vsftpd.service
Finally, copy any files and directories you would like to make available through anonymous FTP to /srv/ files/ftp, or /srv/ftp if you wish to use the default.
