How to connect an anonymous ftp connection

Question

Hello,

my currently question is, how to to connect with user: anonymous and a password like an E-Mail a.e. asdf@asdf.de to an ftp-server.

Answer 1

Simply use "anonymous" as the user name:

using(Ftp ftp = new Ftp())
{
    ftp.Connect("ftp.server.com");
    ftp.Login("anonymous", "email@example.com");

    ftp.ChangeFolder("uploads");
    ftp.Upload("report.txt", @"c:\report.txt");

    ftp.Close();
}

Traditionally, this special anonymous user account accepts any string as a password, although it is common to use either the password "guest" or one's electronic mail (e-mail) address.
