Department of Computer Science: Anonymous FTP Use

Anonymous FTP Use

If you have an anonymous FTP directory, it will be created as /p/ftp/pub/login and owned by you. This directory is deleted when your CS department account is deleted.

Please be conservative in your space use and only put out there what must be there.

Edit /p/ftp/pub/login/.message as appropriate. This message gets displayed when someone cd's into the directory (once per ftp session).

Do not create any world writable directories (if you think you need these, talk to Facilities Staff. We reserve the right to delete the /p/ftp/pub/login directory completely if we find them.

Be careful not to put any copyrighted or licensed material out there unless you have explicit permission from the appropriate people/organization. If you have any questions about what is OK, please ask Facilities Staff.

The location for your directory should be advertised as /pub/login on ftp.cs.purdue.edu, or the URL ftp://ftp.cs.purdue.edu/pub/login
