| anonymous FTP
Part of the Internet's appeal is the
huge number of files available for download. Anonymous File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) enables anyone to download files from a properly configured
FTP server. This allows users without accounts to access files by entering
the username anonymous, along with their email address as a password.
Because anyone can access files that have been set up for anonymous FTP,
Webmasters need to be careful to use it only for files meant for public
consumption. |
