Granting Anonymous FTP Access

To grant anonymous FTP access rights to users connecting to your PC via the Ftpd daemon, you must add an anonymous FTP user to your password file. After this account is set up, any user can access your PC by typing anonymous in the user name box, and any password.

To create an anonymous account:

  1. In the Username/Password Administration dialog box, click Add. The Add Username dialog box opens.
  2. In the Username box, type ftp. The user name must be in lower case.
  3. In the Password box, type ftp. The password must be in lower case. Retype the password in the Confirm Password box.
  4. Click OK. The User Access Rights dialog box opens.
  5. Assign access privileges for anonymous ftp connections.
    Note: 
      Be extremely careful when assigning access rights for anonymous FTP. Do not allow anonymous users to delete files from your PC.
