You can log in and have full directory access if you have a valid account on the machine that your connecting to. However, your not really logged on your, commands are sent and the response is sent back. You can retrieve files send files, directory and so on. However, Anonymous FTP is when the user does not have a valid user account and he enters anonymous as the account name/number and something else ('ident') as a password. (The machine will tell you). Your access is restricted, meaning you can only switch in and out of certain directories. These directories have been set up by a system operator for other people to use. Inorder to FTP you have to find the machines address, something like 128.120.2.2 This is the address of the machine I'm talking from. Most machines will let you ftp on to them, but many won't. (defense contractors) At Unix type 'ftp 128.120.2.2' .... Patrick Tully pstully@ucdavis
