borfast Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 (edited) I was trying to set up anonymous FTP in cPanel. I check the two checkboxes and hit the "Save Settings" button. It seems that everything is just fine but when I try to login as anonymous (user: anonymous ; pass: <just some email address>), I get: 530-Unable to set anonymous privileges. 530 Login incorrect. So what's the problem here? I'm supposing the login is wrong but if it's not like I used it, then what? Thanks in advance! Edited August 10, 2004 by TCH-Raul Quote
Lianna Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Did you try username of anonymous@******? What app are you using to FTP? Lianna Quote
borfast Posted January 7, 2003 Author Posted January 7, 2003 (edited) Using command line in Linux and SmartFTP in Windows but that was not the problem. I was not using anonymous@****. I didn't know it had to be done this way. It works, now. Thanks for the help Edited August 10, 2004 by TCH-Raul Quote
Lianna Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 ALL ftp users, except the main account holder, must login using the name@domainname.com username. (Stumbled on that one myself.) I wasn't sure if that went for anon, too, but it was worth a shot. Glad it's ok now. Lianna Quote
mano Posted January 31, 2003 Posted January 31, 2003 so if i want to link to a file in the anon. ftp from my webpage i ll make like this ftp://anonumous@mydoamin.com:@ftp.mydomai...in.com/file.xxx i think it ll not work Quote
ericr Posted February 1, 2003 Posted February 1, 2003 That's so ugly. Telling people to tack on the domain could be a bit of a hasle. Is there anyway this could be changed? Quote
rayners Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 No, there's no way it can be changed. That's one of the side-effects of using shared hosting. With each account having their own public_ftp directory, the FTP server software needs to know which domain you're logging into. Quote
KevinW Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 Eric, What is it that you wish to accomplish with anonymous FTP access? Perhaps there's another approach that can be taken. -kw Quote
zyurph Posted February 19, 2003 Posted February 19, 2003 I don't see why shared hosting has anything to do with the logon. Your domain name that you type in to get the your ftp site should tell the server what domain you are logging on to. I just switched hosting companies and my last hosting service allowed the username anonymous without @domain.com. Quote
