ftp

I need FTP on my local LAN so my scanner can send me scans.

I am on Debian sid. I installed ftpd and created the user anonymous.
I removed anonymous from /etc/ftpusers

When I try to login as anonymous it says: login failed.

I can't seem to find any log file.

I'm using FTP server (Version 6.4/OpenBSD/Linux-ftpd-0.17)

update:I needed that so my printer had one place to store my scanned documents on the LAN. solved that buying a dedicated USB pen drive (thankfully I bought a printer one with plenty of options)

but in the past this was a very simple task. Install ftpd, specify the directory for anonymous access, and be done with it. now every ftp daemon has several layers of security and chroot in it's core... this is just crazy when all you need a place for a printer to dump files in a secured network.
