Daniel has already replied and told you how to make the change you
want. I
will just say that the setup you describe here is VERY VERY insecure.
Yes. Just like it worked in FC3.
Remember, FTP is not encrypted, so your username and password are
going over
the wire in clear text. Also, since the FTP daemon has access to the
whole
filesystem, anyone can get anything on your box (possibly even write any
files they want, though that would depend on more configuration
details than
what you have told me about).
I know, if I am at some untrusted location I ftp to a temp-ftp account
that I change the password for each time. Or use scp.
FTP is the wrong tool for this. You should use sftp (from SSH not
SSL) or
scp.
Problems with scp: cant tab dirs, cant use -R like in ncftp to upload
whole dirs.
scp -r works but thats not always how I want it.
Use sftp.
