I noticed today on my server that I have a "/srv/ftp" directory and I don't understand why. I know I did install MySQL (mysqld) and Apache (httpd) on my Arch server however I don't see why I have a FTP directory. The only reason I want to know is beause FTP is not allowed on my domain and I never installed an FTP daemon on this machine. Can someone please help me locate why this directory is on the server.

I have no idea why I ran this command or how this helps me understand what dependency installed or created this /srv/ftp directory.

It's a part of a base filesystem package. You will see this directory on every Arch's installation.

Then I firmly suggest you look into pacman's man page so you can understand what this command does. When you do, you'll understand why lucke suggested it to you. Show some initiative .
