- TITLE :PRB: Anonymous FTP Access Fails When Access Reported Available
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:buglist3.10
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system, version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server, version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- SYMPTOMS
- ========
-
- An attempt by a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client to establish a
- session with a Windows NT FTP server using Anonymous connections fails
- and the connection is refused even though FTP reports that Anonymous
- connections are allowed.
-
- When this occurs, the client may receive the following message:
-
- 331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as
- password.
-
- When the client enters the password, the server returns the following
- message:
-
- 530 User anonymous cannot log in.
-
- CAUSE
- =====
-
- This problem occurs because the FTP client erroneously reports that
- Anonymous FTP connections are allowed. By default, the Windows NT FTP
- server does not allow Anonymous connections.
-
- RESOLUTION
- ==========
-
- To resolve this problem, either configure the Windows NT FTP server to
- support Anonymous connections or use a valid user account to use FTP.
