Description Peter da Silva 2002-06-07 17:40:01 UTC 
anonymous user can make directories under incoming and use ftp server as dropbox for warez.

Fix: This should probably be made a command line option. I know "this web form should not be used to submit code as plain text", but the patch is straightforward:
How-To-Repeat: ftp localhost
Username: ftp
Password: me@here
ftp> cd pub/incoming
ftp> mkdir dropbox

Isn't this just a problem with your configuration? If you don't want
anonymous users to be able to create directories then change the
permissions on incoming.

Have I misunderstood?
