Exactly, I have my students login to do their assignments in class, on  
campus or from home via ssh in a terminal and sftp on a browser.

I use anonymous FTP simply to share files with them (I am the only  
real user and only I can upload files via sftp).

Ar least that's the way I have my skackware servers setup and would  
like to emulate the same thing using Ubuntu on my new server boxes.

BTW, the servers I am replacing have been running 24x7 for over 10  
years!
