Setting up an easy ftp server

I'm not familiar with Solaris, but I need to set up a ftp server. What is the simplest way to do this? It doesn't need to have high security or anything of that nature. It also needs to be anonymous. I'm basically scanning something from a printer to a Solaris box. Can someone help me?

If you do a ftp to the unix bax what do you have ?
Usually ftp is a standard service and is available by default. Look in /etc/inet/services and /etc/inet/inetd.conf to see if they are commented out.

If it is solaris 8 or solaris 9, you do not have to do any thing. Just add user and ftp to the server. You can also check /etc/inetd.conf. Uncomment the line if it is is commented.
Then give the command # kill –HUP `pgrep inetd`. If you do not want to give access any user put his name in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.
