How can I enable anonymous FTP access in cPanel?

The Anonymous FTP tool is available with our StartUp, GrowBig, Cloud and Dedicated Servers. The option is not available with the GoGeek accounts.

Anonymous FTP access can be enabled by logging in your cPanel. In the Files box you will find the Anonymous FTP tool.

You will need to enable the specific option that you want, according to your needs:

Allow anonymous access will provide you with a read-only access to the folder public_ftp/incoming/

Allow anonymous uploads will allow you to upload files to the public_ftp/incoming/

Bear in mind that the anonymous users must log with the username anonymous@yourmain.com and any password. You should substitute yourdomain.com with your actual domain.
