Please note that allowing anonymous users to access any part of your system may be considered a security hole and SiteGround does not recommend it.
In order to allow Anonymous FTP, log in cPanel and find the [Anonymous FTP] icon from the Files box.
The following section will provide you with three options:
- A checkbox to enable anonymous FTP access. Usually you need only this to allow users to download publicly your files from the directory public_ftp;
- The second option is to allow anonymous FTP uploads. This one should be left unchecked unless you are fully aware of all the security risks which may follow;
- There is also a box for setting a message to be displayed to connected users. This is useful to inform them about your upload / download policies or provide them additional instructions.
Once the anonymous FTP has been enabled, users have to use the following details when connecting:
ftp_address: your_domain_name.com
ftp_user: anonymous@your_domain_name.com
ftp_password: any
