Hi,

I'm running 7.09 and successfully use pure-ftpd in puredb mode and it work well when i provide different user names i created. However am not able to connect with anonymous account. I tried with minimal options like 
OPTIONS="-A -B -c 5 -C 4 -e -l unix" and i keep getting

421 Unable to set up secure anonymous FTP

I found one article related to Debian there mentioned a missing /tmp/ftp and after that it was working,

I have not been able to find similar information for OpenWrt and how to set default directory for anonymous but i tried /tmp/ftp with no luck.

Also i find the -e -E flag misleading - what if I want my created user names and anonymous? My guess is that neither of them should be there.

I will appreciate if someone could take time to test this

Remove the -E command-line option in /etc/default/pure-ftpd. Next you have to create a system user named 'ftp' in /etc/passwd to get anonymous FTP working. It's also important that the user has no valid shell, use /bin/false.

E.g.:

ftp:x:500:500:Linux User,,,:/srv/ftp:/bin/false

This should work then. I'm currently working on migrating the Pure-FTPd configuration to UCI. See this thread if you are interested. Works not bad so far. Only the stop() function or better the Busybox start-stop-daemon needs to be patched to work with multiple PIDs.

Spot on , anonymous goes to directory specified in /etc/passwd and authorized users to directory i entered when i created the pure-ftpd user 

Thanks
