What is FTP?



Anonymous FTP allows a user to access a wealth of publicly available information. No special account or password is needed.

However, an anonymous FTP site will sometimes ask that users login with the name "anonymous" and use their electronic mail address as the password.

Here is a sample login screen at using an FTP cleint.

Some FTP screens may look different, depending on the client being used. Using the tools available the user can log into the site, and it is done automatically by the FTP client.
