Anonymous FTP Access

Anonymous FTP allows clients to take advantage of the FTP protocol for visitors to their website who need to download large files without a login or password for each visitor. Anonymous FTP can be installed and uninstalled automatically.

Clients login to your anonymous FTP site by FTPing to ftp.yourdomain.com. The login "anonymous" or "ftp" will work, and any password is accepted. Once they have logged in anonymously, they will automatically view the welcome message which you can customize. Users can then download any files which you have made available for them to obtain anonymously. Anonymous FTP users do not have permission to create directories or upload files, and can only download files in the anonymous FTP directory. Finally, all anonymous FTP users are restricted to the area where they login, and cannot move into any area of your website.
