DESCRIPTION

SECURITY WARNING: USE THIS SCRIPT FOR TESTING ONLY AND NOT PRODUCTION.

This script exports the current directory over anonymous FTP. It chroots to the directory and switches to the directory owner user (or nobody if directory owner is root, to avoid running the FTP daemon as root).

ARGUMENTS

The script accepts a single optional argument: the path of the directory to export.

OPTIONS

The following options are available:

--port PORT

Start the FTP server on a specific PORT. Default is 8021.

--help

Print information about the script usage and its options.

--man

Print the entire man page for the command.

TODO

Support systems that do not have chroot().

Support running as normal user (without doing chroot()).

Support non-anonymous (read-write mode).
