Uhhuh?
So let me get this right, first you need to login as anonymous, but then
can login as normal user and then have full access to the file system?
So what is the difference here to allow the users to login directly?
Because if you know the username and passwd you can gain the access anyway.
If you want to limit the user access you can always use the chroot ability found in WU-FTPD at least.
Only thing I can say oh lord
