Thanks, nabeel. The problems is the anonymous should download files directlly to the /var/ftp. Yes, it works if I set up a folder at /var/ftp i.e. /var/ftp/upload. However, when the anonymous user logged in, the user had to change directory like 'cd upload'. It does not work for me as the anonymous user just needs to upload files at /var/ftp/, Any more ideas?
