Okay, I've searched this forum and I've searched the web. I don't see anything wrong with my ftp server, but it will not allow anonymous connections.
I can log in as an authenticated user, but when I try to log in anonymously, I get the following error:
Resolving host name domain.com...
Connecting to (domain.com).
Connected to (domain.com) -> IP: 0.0.0.0 PORT: 21.
Socket connected waiting for login sequence.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.7 Server [0.0.0.0]
USER anonymous
331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete email address as your password.
PASS (hidden)
530-Unable to set anonymous privileges.
530 Login incorrect.
Cannot login waiting to retry (30s)...
Obviously, my ip really isn't 0.0.0.0. I can log in just fine as an authenticated user. There is a ftp user and group. The ftp user doesn't have a password. Here's my config file:
# This is a basic ProFTPD configuration file (rename it to
# 'proftpd.conf' for actual use. It establishes a single server
# and a single anonymous login. It assumes that you have a user/group
# "nobody" and "ftp" for normal operation and anon.

I'm simply lost. I've stared at this file for hours, and have no idea why it is failing. I'm running on Mandrake 9.0 with ProFTPd 1.2.7, and I know the version that comes w/ mandrake includes a proftpd-anonymous package, but assuming I have the correct config, I should be able to connect. I'm wondering if I have some incorrect permissions on the local system....??
Any help I can muster would be appreciated.
