Im trying to understand Anonymous ftp I know the basic definition but thats all. I need explanation in detail
Any master of Ftp?

thx in advance!

anonymous ftp (if enabled by the server) allows you to connect to a server on which you don't have a personalized account (i.e. own username and password). but as the ftp protocol requires you to send *something* as username and password for login, one agreed to send "anonymous" as username and your (any) correctly formatted e-mail address as a password. that's it.

thx for the reply
