Anonymous FTP for NT

You can enable this feature by selecting it in the Edit Account Information form found off of the control panel. There is a directory off of your root/home directory named anonymous; this is the location an anonymous user will be placed in.

To access the anonymous directory, the user can go through their browser or FTP into your site. To access the site with a browser the following syntax is required:

ftp.<domain name>/<userid>_anon

So for our example ntrules domain, the syntax would look like this:

ftp.ntrules.com/ntrules_anon

You can also use this reference to download files through htm/asp.

If an anonymous user logs in to your server, they will be placed in a directory that goes nowhere. They must then execute "cd <userid>_anon" to move into the anonymous directory.

Even though this method is an improvement over the security model found in Unix anon-ftp, anonymous FTP still allows any user into this anonymous sub-directory, if they know your userid and the extension attached to it.

The anonymous user however can't get into any of your other sub-directories. Please do not post your userid freely for this exact reason and be careful of what is happening in this directory.

As we are ramping up please allow for a half day between selecting the option and actual implementation.

We are now feature complete except for generic SSL, which we are simply waiting on a certificate for. Custom SSL certificate setup is now available.
