Hi guys
One of our Apollo customers asked me how to use anonymous ftp
on Apollo. We have not implemented that, but I found an entry
in KDB, where it said that someone has worked on that. Do you
know if this is available somewhere?
Thanks,
Jesper Halding,

I have a posting from July mentioning /pub/apollo-ftpd.tar.Z on
ocf.berkeley.edu (128.32.184.254). Check it out.

The information I got from the Apollo Response Center (8 months ago)
was that anonymous ftp was not planned to be supported. There was
some problem with file security in limiting the home directory as
the users root directory. If this information is incorrect, I am
extremely interested.

I've retreived the sources from osf.berkely.edu, and patched a little to monitor the usuage of the anonymous account. (Check for starnge actions.) And as far as I've seen did nobody get any files that they weren't allowed to get. I even have links to files which are not under the ~ftp-directory. So I don't have to put binaries in twice! :-) If you want you can get it at ftp.ebe.ele.tue.nl in /pub/apollo/myftp.tar.Z. Try it, if you want it keep it. Willem Jan Withagen.

The reason normal apollo ftpd doesn't allow anonymous ftp is the system call chroot() fails under domain/OS because it can't hide //. Mine does things a bit differently than the version from Berkeley and I don't think it suffers from the above bug. If you'd like to give my version a try, ftp to the address below. If anyone wants this version, I'll dig it up and put it up for (anonymous) ftp.

Also at ftp.eb.ele.tue.nl(131.155.2.25) with some small enhancements. >The other thing that this is missing is the FILETYPE option available >under 10.3 .

Once I got them across I changed the filetype to COFF with /com/obty. This caused no pains what so ever. Even better still, I would also execute when it wasn't of COFF-type.
