Introduction Anonymous FTP is a way for users of the Internet to transfer files to each other. If a site is running an anonymous FTP server, then any user on the Internet may connect to that server and freely download files that are in the anonymous FTP directories.
Some sites also allow anonymous users to deposit files on their servers.
Usually there is also some form of security involved to protect from malicious users. The anonymous FTP directories are setup in a tree fashion, just like most computer file systems. From here, the user can see several subdirectories. The pub subdirectory contains other directories and files that Anonymous FTP Servers makes public to the Internet community. Typically, anyone is welcome to download files from pub .
