Creating public ftp on XAMPP at ubuntu linux
If you want to use ftp://localhost anonymously e.g. without any user and password on your xampp server at ubuntu or linux mint distro then please follow the steps below.
1. Enter the command to edit:
sudo nano /opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf
2. Copy the following scripts and paste into bottom of that file –
# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories. If you do not
# want anonymous users, simply delete this entire <Anonymous> section.
<Anonymous /home/user/Downloads>
User ftp
Group ftp
# We want clients to be able to login with “anonymous” as well as “ftp”
UserAlias anonymous ftp
# Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins
MaxClients 10
# We want ‘welcome.msg’ displayed at login, and ‘.message’ displayed
# in each newly chdired directory.
DisplayLogin welcome.msg
# DisplayFirstChdir .message
# Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot
<Limit WRITE>
DenyAll
</Limit>
</Anonymous>
3. Save the file and start the xampp server
