trouble connecting

Hi

I'm new to FTP, and can't seem to get to first base! I've typed in the URL I want to access, clicked Connect, and I get 'Use anonymous cannot log in'. What does that mean and what am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Hi Crispin,

Anonymous ftp is when an ftp server lets you login with the username being 'anonymous' and your email address is the password - places use anonymous ftp to avoid having to set up a pile of username/passwords. eg. local uni for instance.

But - you need to enter your username and password in the boxes as well as your domain name, port 21 (usually) , and be sure to uncheck the box that says 'anonymous'

Cheers

Trouble is I've tried that and exactly the same thing happens...
