linux, QuickFix, Technical | 0 comments

Have you ever wondered how to give access to the files which are stored under /home/username/public_ftp of a Cpanel account anonymously?

Yes, It’s possible. First you need to get a dedicated account assigned for the domain and then, goto /etc/pure-ftpd folder. Here you find a directory named with the different IPs which are found on the server. This folder normally contains the pub folder which is made available for anonymous users for writing.We need to remove this directory and create a soft-link the same to to /home/username/public_html.

ln -s /home/username/public_ftp /etc/pureftpd/

Now you will be able to access the files found under public_ftp via anonymously with ease.
