I believe the anonymous user will only see files in the ~/ftp folder. It's with regards to things like this that GNU Inetutils ftpd can be easier for local network use rather than servers with all the extra features for hosting a public FTP site on the internet. It can also be started as a daemon with the "-D" command-line option. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
