[ale] anon FTP not working

[Ken N]

What ftp are you using I know that most ftp clients you need to set
require valid user off. See what I mean? anonymous is not a valid user and
doesn;t have a shell so you need to say that you don't have to be a valid
user to ftp in....


hope that helps.

The answer is simple if you grant that ironies are like submarines; 
dangerous only when submerged.
