How to Log into Anonymous FTP

There are two ways to log into anonymous FTP.

Truly Anonymous

  • This type of anonymous FTP requires a Dedicated IP address.
  • The truly anonymous login requires the user name anonymous and any password which consists of one or more characters. This gives access to your public_ftp folder.
  • For Business and Reseller plans, this type of anonymous FTP users can view and download files. For VPS and Dedicated plans, users can view, edit, download, and upload files.

Anonymous User

  • This type of anonymous FTP does not require a dedicated IP address.
  • The anonymous user names created by default are anonymous@domain.com and ftp@domain.com. Both user names accept any password which consists of one or more characters.
  • This type of user is allowed anonymous access to the public_ftp folder and can also upload to the public_ftp/incoming folder.
