What is FTP?
Anonymous FTP allows a user to access a wealth of publicly available
information. No special account or password is needed.
However, an anonymous FTP site will sometimes ask that users login with the name "anonymous" and use their electronic mail address as the password.
Here is a sample login screen at SURAnet, which was accessed from a UNIX environment. Note that when a password is typed in, the characters do not appear on the screen.
Some FTP screens may look different, depending on the client being used.
