I have a running boa (on a No-MMU installation)

in my /etc/boa there is (comment lines deleted)

Port 80

User root

Group root

ServerName www.nios2.com (http://www.nios2.com)

DocumentRoot /home/httpd

UserDir public_html

DirectoryIndex index.html

KeepAliveMax 100

KeepAliveTimeout 20

MimeTypes /etc/mime.types

DefaultType text/html

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/httpd/cgi-bin/

(www.nios2.com (http://www.nios2.com) seems to be quite irrelevant, I don't have such a thing)

Moreover I do have a user ftp with no password:

cat /etc/passwd

root:$1$9T/VnwvK$ftljw4uPOFUdEHO.v3yh5/:0:0:root:/:/bin/sh

ftp:x:500:500:FTP User:/home/ftp:

and a directory /home/ftp for boa to use.
