Hi,

Do you see a user account for anonymous ftp in /etc/passwd?

# grep ftp /etc/passwd
ftp:*:400:400:Anonymous FTP:/home/ftp:/bin/true

If you don't intend to allow anonymous FTP, then you should remove it from /etc/passwd. FTP'ing using other user accounts will be prompted for their individual passwords.

If you wish to use the username anonymous but set a password for it, you can try setting the passwd for this account and see if it works eg.

# passwd ftp

Hope this helps. Regards.
