What is Anonymous FTP and how do I use it?

Anonymous FTP allows you and others that you give permission to, to access your "public_ftp" folder. You can allow this type of access in one of two ways:
1. ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com --This allows others to view, delete, upload and download files directly into your "public_ftp" folder.
2. ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/incoming --This allows others to upload, view, delete, and download files located only within the public_ftp/incoming folder of your hosting account.

To manage control of your Anonymous FTP settings, login to your CPanel Control Panel and click the "FTP Manager" icon, followed by the "FTP Controls" link. Here, you will be able to allow or disallow anonymous access to your hosting account, as well as set up welcome messages for your anonymous FTP users.

The login to use when using anon FTP is "[email protected]"
