I don't have the above line..

I do have an

anonymous_enable=YES

near the top of the config.

I think someone else mentioned this but pub doesn't want to be 777,
755 should suffice.

Trying to replicate the above.

$ ls -ld /srv
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug  5 11:55 /srv
$ ls -ld /srv/ftp
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug  5 11:55 /srv/ftp
$ ls -ld /srv/ftp/pub
drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp ftp 4096 Aug  5 11:52 /srv/ftp/pub

Then using lftp I can login as user anonymous with my email address as the password

$ lftp localhost
lftp localhost:~> user anonymous
Password: 
lftp anonymous at localhost:~> ls -l
drwxr-xr-x    2 14       50           4096 Aug 05 10:52 pub
lftp anonymous at localhost:/>  cd pub/
lftp anonymous at localhost:/pub> mkdir test
mkdir ok, `test' created

I've attached the config I've used for this.
