I never had the need to look. To get a standard anonymous FTP server running under SuSE, I did the following: 1. Installed the vsftpd RPM 2. Edited /etc/xinetd.d/vsftpd to change 'disabled = yes' to 'disabled = no' That was it. When I wanted user support later, I just edited /etc/ vsftpd.conf and looked for a line that dealt with it. It's heavily commented and all the parameters shows the defaults. In this case, I just uncommented the line: #local_enable=YES There are quite a few options such as quotas and chroot'ing users and controlling the anonymous user privileges and the like. I use scp and sftp for everything major, though, so I've never gotten into that. What specifically are you looking for, documentation-wise?
