Anonymous FTP
Anonymous FTP is a technique for retrieving publicly available files and programs from the many FTP servers around the Internet. Anonymous FTP is simply an ftp session in which you log into the remote server using the username anonymous and, by convention, your email address as the password.[47] The anonymous FTP example shown here should make this process clear:

Password:kathy@ttgnet.comftp>cd rfc250 CWD command successful. ftp>get rfc1122.txt200 PORT command successful. 150 Opening connection for rfc1122.txt. 226 Transfer complete. local: rfc1122.txt remote: rfc1122.txt ftp>quit221 Goodbye.
In this example, the user logs into the server ds.internic.net using the username anonymous and the password kathy@ttgnet.com, which is her email address. With anonymous FTP, she can log in even though she doesn’t have an account on ds.internic.net. Of course what she can do is restricted, but she can retrieve certain files from the system, and that’s just what she does. She changes to the rfc directory, and gets the file rfc1122.txt.
Using the anonymous FTP service offered by a remote server is very simple. However, setting up an anonymous FTP service on your own system is a little more complicated. The Microsoft FTP server is part of the Internet Information Server. See Chapter 10 for information ...
