Yeah, it's all about the writeable root (of the chroot). Whichever |
| 18 |
path that is. Writeable chroot-root is just a "no-no" ;) And having |
| 19 |
those rights on /incoming is quite sane... |

Or just add the target-dir at the end of the 'put foo /incoming/'. |

And have a look at your client configuration ... For the plain |
| 27 |
net-ftp/ftp client, it's ~/.netrc (see 'man 5 netrc'). Uhhm, that's |
| 28 |
not quite intuitive to use... So here's a working example: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
==== ~/.netrc ==== |
| 31 |
machine localhost |
| 32 |
login anonymous password "test@localhost" |
| 33 |
macdef init |
| 34 |
pwd |
| 35 |
cd /incoming |
| 36 |
pwd |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
default login anonymous password "invalid@×××××××.invalid" |
| 40 |

| 41 |

That way, you'd be auto-logged-in and auto-chdired to incoming on |
| 43 |
localhost. Ain't that nice? You could add more commands to that |
| 44 |
init-macro... Like a 'put foo' ;) Add a host-alias to your /etc/hosts |
| 45 |
use that for a 'machine foo' directive in your .netrc and *tada* all |
| 46 |
can be automated ;) That's Unix: a large box of pieces that can all |
| 47 |
be combined creatively - or less so. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
The 'pwd' are just for debugging (and the macro-definition (here the |
| 50 |
special init macro) ends at the empty line). That should get you |
| 51 |
started :) |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Anyway, TUI/GUI clients like ncftp and gftp often have similar |
| 54 |
features... Or even read ~/.netrc. |
| 55 |
