11 # Allow anonymous FTP? (Beware - allowed by default if you comment this out).
14 # Uncomment this to allow local users to log in.
17 # Uncomment this to enable any form of FTP write command.
20 # Default umask for local users is 077. You may wish to change this to 022,
21 # if your users expect that (022 is used by most other ftpd's)
24 # Uncomment this to allow the anonymous FTP user to upload files. This only
25 # has an effect if the above global write enable is activated. Also, you will
26 # obviously need to create a directory writable by the FTP user.

31 #anon_mkdir_write_enable=YES
33 # Activate directory messages - messages given to remote users when they
34 # go into a certain directory.

72 # the request. Turn on the below options to have the server actually do ASCII
73 # mangling on files when in ASCII mode.
74 # Beware that on some FTP servers, ASCII support allows a denial of service
75 # attack (DoS) via the command "SIZE /big/file" in ASCII mode. vsftpd
