Setting Up Anonymous FTP Service
You can allow guests to log in to your FTP server with the user name “ftp” or “anonymous.”

addresses.

To set up anonymous FTP service:
1 In Server Settings, click the File & Print tab.
2 Click FTP and choose Configure FTP.
3 Click the Access tab.
4 Select “Anonymous access enabled.”
5 Click Save.
If the “Anonymous access enabled” box has a checkmark, anonymous access is already
enabled.
Creating an Uploads Folder for Anonymous Users
The uploads folder provides a place for anonymous users to upload files to the FTP server. It
must exist at the top level of the FTP root directory and be named “uploads.” (If you have set
up a custom FTP root directory, then the uploads folder must be at the root of that
directory.)
To create an uploads folder for anonymous users:
m Use the Finder to create the folder and set write privileges for guest users.
