i use VSFTPD without issues

make sure you set:

nopriv_user=ftp #(or whatever your ftp user is NOT your mirror user) anonymous_enable=YES anon_root=/srv/mirror/public_html # set this to the doc root of the mirror #these are only needed if you have a non connection tracking FW for passive FTP to work reliably - if you have no firewall in front of the server and dont use NAT this likely shouldn't be needed pasv_max_port=51000 pasv_min_port=50000 port_enable=YES pasv_address=<PUBLIC IP>

Hello:

I am setting up a CentOS mirror. I am using CentOS 6.4 on my machine.

I am looking at options for setting up FTP. I have used vsftpd in the past, but I would like to set it up to serve files without requiring a login and I am not seeing that in the documentation.

What FTP server are people using on their mirrors?

Thanks, Neil

I'm no expert with vsftpd but I see this in a config file:

# Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out). anonymous_enable=NO

We use proftpd mostly (for mirrors and other services) which is sort of the apache of FTP servers (very flexible, tons of optional modules, somewhat heavy but not that much) and we're very happy with it.

There's also pure-ftpd which is lighter on resources (so I've heard) but I have no direct experience with it.

Cheers,
