- You cannot use anonymous FTP with a Basic or Economy plan.
- You must purchase and receive a dedicated IP address for your cPanel before truly anonymous FTP will work.
- Anonymous FTP users can view and download files if you have a Business or reseller plan. If you want users to be able to upload, they must use the ftp@domain.com or anonymous@domain.com user name and upload to the public_ftp/incoming folder.
- Anonymous FTP users can view, edit, download, and upload files if you have a VPS or dedicated plan.
This is not the best FTP solution for security purposes. By allowing users to upload files without a username or password, you might generate a possible security hole for hackers. If you still wish to proceed, you may set up anonymous FTP access by doing the following:
- Click on FTP Manager
- Click on Anonymous FTP Controls
- Click on the Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com tick box or the Allow anonymous upload to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/incoming tick box. You must click on both tick boxes to enable uploads.
- Click on the Save Settings button.
We strongly recommend you create FTP accounts which require a username and password for a person to upload and download files on your website.
