File Transfer Protocol (FTP) enables a user to copy files from one computer to
another over a network. The user runs an FTP client program on one computer
and connects to the FTP server running on the other computer. To use FTP, a
user must have a valid login account on the server.
Anonymous FTP allows users who do not have accounts on a server to access
files on that server. The server can be configured to allow either read-only
access or read and write access.
Use the Anonymous FTP module to configure your Netra server as an
anonymous FTP server. This module allocates disk space for files that can be
accessed by anonymous users. The anonymous FTP server can be in one of
three configuration states:
• Enable anonymous FTP with upload and download capability:
Anonymous users can connect to the Netra server and copy files both to and
from the server.
• Enable anonymous FTP with upload capability only: Anonymous users
can connect to the Netra server and copy files from the server but not to the
server.
• Disable anonymous FTP: Anonymous users cannot connect to the Netra
server.
