Granting Anonymous FTP Access

All users, including anonymous users, must provide a password.

Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003

To grant anonymous FTP access to your PC through the FTPd daemon, add an anonymous user using your operating system’s User Manager. Then add the anonymous user to the FTPAccess group.

Note:

With Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003, if you create a TelnetAccess or FTPAccess groups in the user administration program, the Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 user must be a member of these groups to access the machine using Telnet or FTP. No security check is performed if the group does not exist, and access is allowed for every Windows NT/2000/XP/Server 2003 user account.

Windows 98

To grant anonymous FTP access rights to users connecting to your PC through 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 the user name anonymous, and any password. You can add an anonymous FTP user using InetD Admin. For more information, see the InetD Admin Help.
