Enable Annonymous FTP login.

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

   I am transferring my   report files to another FTP  server which the end users are downloading  later. But while accessing  the FTP  server its  asking for username and password  which i don't  want to share to the end users rather i  want to make the  login as  anonymous so that it won't prompt for  username. 
 
   Please, Can anyone   guide me how to enable the anonymous login.

Thanks In Advance and a Happy New year.

Could you write the files with one and have read-only with another account that you are prepared to share with the users, or code their application with the read-only credentials?

Just a suggestion.

Hi Robin,

Appreciate ur way of thinking. But my intention is not to share the password with them coz they may telnet /ssh the server with the password. But using FTP only read only access has been given to the FTP . So by FTPing the site they can't even delete. But it will create problem if anyone try to ssh to the server.

Thanks

Could you set the login shell to /bin/false so that a login is ineffective, be that with telnet or SSH?
