FileZilla Forums

Hey guys. I searched the forum for this and didn't find anything, so I'll ask: Is there a way to allow anonymous FTP in FileZilla Server?

Just add a user called anonymous

what about a password, leave it blank?

don't select the password checkbox

Got it. That was a lot easier than I thought. Thanks!

Sorry to brought back this old old topic but this procedure seems not to work with the last server version (0.9.33 beta).

Delete the excessive space after 'anonymous'.

shame on myself !!

Thanks

hello
sometime, on any server, you can enter on the password the mail of a customer on the site..

That's what Netiquette says: Give your full email as password. But I've yet to see anyone actually doing that.

what happen if i use anonymous account and set a password ?

Then it's not anonymous anymore, just a regular account with that name.

To avoid confusion, I'm assuming loging in as "anonymous" means that only the username is actually anonymous, but not your connection. The FTP server can still log your IP..

Hi Guys,
I am interested about this, sometimes i cant register for some websites due to this problem. it says service is not available for your region.
Please guide me,

Your problem is completely unrelated to anything discussed here. You are having problems with geolocation and IP-banning of regions. So you need to go and find a location anonymizing proxy (e. g. a US. one). But we can't help you with that here.
