I am pretty new to this type of thing. How I know anonymous ftp setup
properly ? We would like to allow third party to download files through web
browser without doing anything else. What I need to do in order to put it
working?


As far as I know, directory files need to be accessed by username and
password through FTP tool.  Also I test in Linux,

220  xxxxx  FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2-5) ready.
Name (xxxxxx): anonymous
331 Password required for anonymous .
Password:
530 Login incorrect.
Login failed.
