FTP Help

[midnite2]

hello,

I am trying to make an FTP site that can be accessed by the public.

I want anyone to be able to access it, but i dont know how i can do that with x10hosting. i looked every where. this probably also known as anonymous access. how do i activate that or whatever. I can access FTP site thro client ftp program with username and password. I want people to access it without a password and a login.

Please help, this is getting frustrating

It's a piece of cake to have files available for public download without password or id using http, but I suppose you know that and have some reason for doing it using ftp.

There isn't any way to enable anonymous FTP. Maybe you can create a downloads directory and enable indexes on the directory. When someone types in the url it will list all the files in that directory and provide a clickable link to the download. Place a file called .htaccess in that directory with this content:

Options +Indexes

Be careful you're not violating the Terms of Service (TOS), specifically:

x10Hosting accounts are not to be used for file storage, your account will be suspended if found to be hosting files for download. Downloads are only allowed on your x10Hosting account if they have to do directly with your website. e.g. you developed custom software and are selling it or giving it away. Accounts may not be used for mirrors, game file hosting, or any other type of file hosting not specified here.

I forgot to mention the upload part. You can create a form and use php to store the files in that directory I mentioned before. I'd also read mission's post twice, just to make sure you understand it because it is pretty important.
