# Net::FTPServer::RO::Server(3pm)

The anonymous read-only FTP server personality

## NAME

Net::FTPServer::RO::Server - The anonymous read-only FTP server personality

## SYNOPSIS

```
  ftpd [-d] [-v] [-p port] [-s] [-S] [-V] [-C conf_file]
```

## DESCRIPTION

`"Net::FTPServer::RO::Server"` is the anonymous read-only FTP server personality. This personality implements a complete FTP server with similar functionality to *wu-ftpd*, except that it is not possible to write and all logins must be anonymous.

## METHODS

- $rv = $self-\>authentication\_hook ($user, `$pass`, `$user_is_anon)`

  Perform login against `"/etc/passwd"` or the PAM database.

- $self-\>user\_login\_hook ($user, $user\_is\_anon)

  Hook: Called just after user `$user` has successfully logged in.

- $dirh = $self-\>root\_directory\_hook;

  Hook: Return an instance of Net::FTPServer::RO::DirHandle corresponding to the root directory.
