are needed on the directory, unless you wish to restrict who is allowed

Note that some systems will require special system-specific preparation
of the anonymous ftp and any other chroot directories. Also, be aware

that the configuration directives "PersistentPasswd", "RequireValidShell",
and "UseFtpUsers" may require special attention.
