It's not an FTP server. It's just a subdomain, like any other. Examples 
include:

https://mail.mozilla.org/
https://www.mozilla.org/
https://docs.mozilla.org/
https://xxxx.mozilla.org/.

You can use anything in place of 'xxxx'. Notice that I have included 
'www' because that is what it is. The only generic top-level domain is 
mozilla.org, and that is what ICANN recognises.

/pub is the folder where files are stored. Again, it can be anything, 
but 'pub' is generally known to users to signify 'public', and no login 
is required to access the files in that folder. If you are running a 
website hosted on your Linux server, the ownership might be something 
like this:

www-data:www-data.

I could explain what this means, but that is not the point of this post.
