This post continue with the review of the host gator ftp features, and this will talk abou the anonymous ftp features offered by hostgator. If you know cpanel, you probably already know what i going to tell you here is very simple and straighforward. Anonymous ftp meaning that any user can access your public_ftp folder at the server, and do the download or upload of files. So, you will need to look into details on this.
As you can see, the anonymous access to public_ftp is granted, when the first option is ticked.
“Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.hostgatorreview.org” .. this is the default setting. And no harm to allow this.
For the second options, its adviced not to ticked on it. Not to allow anonymous user to upload files to your public_ftp folder. It can be security threat, uploaded illegal content like crack etc. So leave the “Allow anonymous uploads to ftp://ftp.hostgatorreview.org/incoming” option blanked.
Have a closer look, and visit them at hostgator.com
