Hey Everyone,

I do not know tons about web admin/ftp and all that, and I am trying to set up an anon ftp user account, but I really dont know what I would use for taht person to connect, and what folder that user uploads stuff to. Is the hostname the same as the main user account? What is the password? I have no idea where the password is listed. Thank for any help in advance.

See the Kbase article.

i have seen that. that doesnt help at all because it does not tell me what i use as a hostname and password.

having never used annon FTP with dreamhost I don't know for sure, but I suspect it would be yoru domain name. you might possible need to specify ftp.domain.com but most likely not.

> what i use as a hostname and password

As in comments in the kbase page, I think user/password can be anything the visitor chooses, since it is "anonymous."

I don't know about hostname, but maybe it will become clear if you get to: "Then you'll get to the page where you can configue ftp service. Hopefully by reading that page you'll understand what most of the options are!"

Good luck,

I have not configured anon ftp on DreamHost, but in my past experience...

The username must be either 'anonymous' or 'ftp' and the password should not matter, though some ftpd implementations require something that at least looks like an email address (i.e. something with an @ in it somewhere).

If that doesn't work, I would contact support.

You can go in and configure permissions for anon user in your control panel. I believe the ability to upload is disabled by default.
