Examples

  1. Anonymous FTP requests require a login of "ftp" or "anonymous" and an email address to be used as the password: 
         module ftpd {
       login ftp
       password survivor@
       filename /welcome.msg
     }
  2. An example using "anonymous" and passive mode: 
         module ftpd {
       login anonymous
       password survivor@foo.university.edu
       filename /pub/linux-2.4/linux-2.4.18.tgz
       passive true
     }
  3. Authenticated FTP requests require a login and password that are valid on the FTP to be checked: 
         module ftpd {
       login bob
       password secretCode
       filename /pub/dist/survivor-0.9.0.tgz
       port 8021
