Anonymous FTP Access
Anonymous access is not required by the CM500 IP and in general should be avoided. Although your site is not publicized, malicious Internet users will find it. We strongly recommend not allowing anonymous access. Even with user name and password protection, the information on your server is not secure. Be sure that no sensitive or confidential information is stored on this server.

Enabling anonymous FTP access allows people to connect to your server by simply sending “anonymous” as their logon name and an arbitrary password. This is the least secure form of access that can be allowed, and should be used with caution.
Caution: When enabling anonymous FTP access, users will be able to view files below the specified root directory. Be sure that these directories only contain files you wish to share with users.
To enable anonymous access, check the Allow Anonymous Logon box. Then check each of the access rights you wish to grant anonymous users. Check Read Permission to allow anonymous users to view and retrieve files in your FTP server directories. Check Write Permission to allow anonymous users
