Summary
Reports if the remote FTP Server allows anonymous logins.
Insight
Insight
A host that provides an FTP service may additionally provide Anonymous FTP access as well. Under this arrangement, users do not strictly need an account on the host. Instead the user typically enters 'anonymous' or 'ftp' when prompted for username. Although users are commonly asked to send their email address as their password, little to no verification is actually performed on the supplied data.
Solution
Solution
If you do not want to share files, you should disable anonymous logins.
