What is anonymous FTP and how do I use it?
Author: Drew

Anonymous FTP allows you, and others you give permission to, to access your "public_ftp" folder. You can permit for this type of access in one of two ways:

1. ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com --This authorizes others to view, delete, upload and download files directly into your "public_ftp" folder.

2. ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/incoming --This setting grants permission to upload, view, delete, and download files located only within the public_ftp/incoming folder of your hosting account.

To manage control of your Anonymous FTP settings, login to your CPanel Control Panel and click the "FTP Manager" icon, followed by the "FTP Controls" link. Here, you will be able to allow or disallow anonymous access to your hosting account, as well as set up welcome messages for your anonymous FTP users.
