There may be a deb package called something like "anon-ftp"
which sets up an anonymous ftp account with (very) limited
access (e.g. only to /ftp/pub).  Most linux distro's separate the
anonymous access parts from the rest of wu-ftp for security reasons.

If you install and activate such a package you should read all
the security information at the wu-ftp www site!
