If you do not supply a user:password@ in the bigDataUrl, then FTP will use anonymous login.
PASS is the "password" command. PASV is the "passive" command. Most FTP servers work this way. Perhaps you can find another server that allows anonymous login, or have your server reconfigured to support it. -Galt On 05/04/11 14:54, Shankar Ajay Subramanian wrote: > Hello, > > I've been trying to load a bigWig custom track that has been hosted on a > remote FTP site.
