ftp error: 530 User anonymous unknown

[Oscar Garcia]

Hola everybody!

I have created an ftponly account in HP_UX 11i following the instructions of this thread: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=25480

By the way I want to thank Sebastian as his instructions worked as a dream.
The problem is that although I can ftp from the command line I get an error when I try to use IExplorer:

"Windows cannot access this Folder. Make sure you typed the File name correctly and that you have permission to access the Folder.
Details:
220 absl FTP server (Version 1.1.214.4(PHNE_23950) Tue May 2205:49:01 GMT 2001) ready.
530 User anonymous unknown "

I haven't configured anonymous as the ftponly account, but IE for some reason sends anonymous as username. How can I sort it? Is it an IE problem or did I miss something in the ftponly setup?

Probably the problem is windows being windows, but I need to deploy it to financial people on windows workstations...

I appreciate all the help you can give me.

In IE, you can specify the user/passwd in the address bar as follows:
ftp://user:passwd@ftp.server.com
