Warning:

We strongly recommend that you deny anonymous users the ability to upload files to your FTP server. This setting prevents malicious software uploads, which can harm your website. 

To configure Anonymous FTP settings, perform the following steps:

  1. Select the checkboxes for the permissions that you wish to allow.
  2. Deselect the checkboxes for the permissions that you wish to deny.
  3. Click Save.

When users log in to FTP anonymously, they must format usernames as anonymous@example.com, where example.com represents the user's domain name. This requirement directs your server to the correct public_ftp directory.

Note:

If a user does not include a domain name, one of the following errors will appear:

  • If your server uses Pure-FTP as the FTP server, users receive a 421 Can't change directory to /var/ftp/ error message.
  • If your server uses ProFTP as the FTP server, users receive a 530 Login Authentication Failed error message.

Welcome message

You can set a message that anonymous FTP users see when they connect to your FTP server.

To set a welcome message, perform the following steps:

  1. In the text box, enter the welcome message.
  2. Click Save Message.
