550-: anonymous login rejected by FTP server

Explanation

An FTP client attempted to log in as anonymous. The FTP server rejected the anonymous login.

System action

The client's session is ended.

User response

Log in to FTP as a different user. If you are authorized only as user anonymous, contact the system programmer with the error message.

System programmer response

Error messages related to anonymous login are written to syslogd if ftp server traces are enabled. If syslogd is not active, the error messages will be written to the operator console. Verify FTP is configured correctly to accept anonymous logins.
