Description mittorn 2018-04-04 15:12:34 UTC

ftpd anonymous mode does not work when ftpd is running under root on systems without users (no /etc/passwd).
-a option does not help, it returns "login failed" with any user/password
I'm using busybox tcpsvd -vE 192.168.10.1:21 busybox ftpd -vv -a (root or 0) /
i cannot add users because filesystem is read-only, so busybox ftpd is completely unuseful for me
