Hi, I have just installed a FTP server for providing some files among my
students. I want to set permission in such a way that:
(1) Anonymous user can read / copy the file but no write permission
(2) My students who will login with their ID, will able to read / copy and
*even write in that FTP* site.
My server is CentOS 5. And, I am using vsftpd for this purpose. I am
providing my vsftpd-anon.conf file here for your kind information:
*#
# Sample anonymous FTP server configuration
#
# Mandatory directives
#
listen=YES
local_enable=YES
anonymous_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=077
anon_upload_enable=YES
This ^^^^ is not consistent with your requirement to have read only access for
anonymous user. What exactly do you mean by 'Anonymous' can 'copy' ?
Anyways, here is a nice article that might help:

If you still have problems, it might help to know what exactly happens (or does
not happen as expected) along with the current configuration.
In any case, you should consider creating a complete read-only ftp server with
users using scp to copy files instead of ftp, since that is more secure.
cheers,
