How to Set an Anonymous FTP access using cPanel?

Anonymous FTP access allows anyone to access your public_ftp folder. There are two options available:

  • Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com - This allows to view, download, and delete files from your public_ftp folder.
  • Allow anonymous upload to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/incoming - This allows to view, upload, download, and delete files from your public_ftp/incoming folder.

Warning: Anonymous FTP allows anyone access to a restricted area of your site. It is generally safest to not enable Anonymous FTP. If you do enable it, you are responsible for the bandwidth and space used.

To set Anonymous FTP access:
  1. Click on the Ftp Manager button on the cPanel home page.
  2. Click on the Anonymous FTP Controls link.
  3. Click on the Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com tick box or the Allow anonymous upload to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/incoming tick box. You must click on both tick boxes to enable uploads.
  4. Click on the Save Settings button.
