  anonymous FTP
       
           An interactive service provided by many
          Internet hosts allowing any user to transfer documents,
          files, programs, and other archived data using File Transfer
          Protocol.  The user logs in using the special user name
          "ftp" or "anonymous" and his e-mail address as password.
          He then has access to a special directory hierarchy containing
          the publically accessible files, typically in a subdirectory
          called "pub".  This is usually a separate area from files used
          by local users.
       
          A reference like
       
          	ftp: euagate.eua.ericsson.se /pub/eua/erlang/info
       
          means that files are available by anonymous FTP from the host
          called euagate.eua.ericsson.se in the directory (or file)
          /pub/eua/erlang/info.  Sometimes the hostname will be
          followed by an Internet address in parentheses.  The
          directory will usually be given as a path relative to the
          anonymous FTP login directory.  A reference to a file
          available by FTP may also be in the form of a URL starting
          "ftp:".
