anonymous FTP
An interactive service provided by many
{Internet} {hosts} allowing any user to transfer documents,
files, programs, and other archived data using {File Transfer
Protocol}. The user logs in using the special {user name}
"ftp" or "anonymous" and his {e-mail address} as {password}.
He then has access to a special directory hierarchy containing
the publically accessible files, typically in a subdirectory
called "pub". This is usually a separate area from files used
by local users.
A reference like
ftp: euagate.eua.ericsson.se /pub/eua/erlang/info
means that files are available by anonymous FTP from the host
called euagate.eua.ericsson.se in the directory (or file)
/pub/eua/erlang/info. Sometimes the {hostname} will be
followed by an {Internet address} in parentheses. The
directory will usually be given as a path relative to the
anonymous FTP login directory. A reference to a file
available by FTP may also be in the form of a {URL} starting
"ftp:".
See also {Archie}, {archive site}, {EFS}, {FTP by mail},
{World-Wide Web}.
