Some sites may have their anonymous ftp configured so as not to require a password, but these are exceptional. Of course if you give anything other than anonymous as username, then you will only get in if (a) the username you give exists as an account on the remote machine, (b) the password that you give is the correct password for that account, (c) the remote site is configured to allow ftp access from your local machine But it is quite normal for ftp to ask for a password!

passwords at Debian's FTP site
I was going to download the latest libc5 and netstd packages from debian's ftp site and it asks for a username and password when I try to save the files. What do I do? Thanks Dave Jones -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
