<screen> User Confirmation Requested
Anonymous FTP permits un-authenticated users to connect to the system
FTP server, if FTP service is enabled. Anonymous users are
restricted to a specific subset of the file system, and the default
configuration provides a drop-box incoming directory to which uploads
are permitted. You must separately enable both inetd(8), and enable
ftpd(8) in inetd.conf(5) for FTP services to be available. If you
did not do so earlier, you will have the opportunity to enable inetd(8)
again later.
If you want the server to be read-only you should leave the upload
directory option empty and add the -r command-line option to ftpd(8)
in inetd.conf(5)
