n 1: a common way to make software available; users are allowed
to log in as `guest' without a password and copy whatever
has been made available [syn: anonymous ftp, {anonymous
file transfer protocol}] |
anonymous ftp
(foldoc) | anonymous FTP
An interactive service provided by many
Internet hosts allowing any user to transfer documents,
files, programs, and other archived data using {File Transfer
Protocol}. The user logs in using the special user name
"ftp" or "anonymous" and his e-mail address as password.
He then has access to a special directory hierarchy containing
the publically accessible files, typically in a subdirectory
called "pub". This is usually a separate area from files used
by local users.
A reference like
ftp: euagate.eua.ericsson.se /pub/eua/erlang/info
means that files are available by anonymous FTP from the host
called euagate.eua.ericsson.se in the directory (or file)
/pub/eua/erlang/info. Sometimes the hostname will be
followed by an Internet address in parentheses. The
directory will usually be given as a path relative to the
anonymous FTP login directory. A reference to a file
available by FTP may also be in the form of a URL starting
"ftp:".
