firewalling & ftp
 

for rh71, i'd recomend using iptables to build a firewall. there are lots of docs and tutorial out there.. search google.com or linuxdocs.org .

one other thing: anonymous ftp and user-based ftp are 2 different things... the default ftp server in rh71 is wu-ftp , i believe. compare your needs with other s/w like ncftpd or others.
