CentOS - Apr 2011 - FTP server for registered and anonymous users

Friends I have a good ftp server working with authentication of users,
but I want to put a folder with general information for everyone can
read without having to log in, that is to be seen both registered users
and guests too.

all FTP users have to log in, by convention, user "anonymous" (alias 
"ftp") accepts any password, and is put in the ftp guest directory 
(/var/ftp by default on centos systems)

so, all you should have to do is enable anonymous ftp and put your files 
for the anon user in the ftp guest directory.

Need more information.

- Are you using vsftpd? Proftpd?
- Are your users separate local user accounts that all have their own 
home directories?
- Have you already looked at the anonymous FTP configuration for the FTP 
server software you are wanting to use?
- Have you already looked at the welcome banner configuration if you are 
just wanting to give general server info on login?

If you need to display a folder, you can just set it up as a web page.
