Anonymous FTP enables users to connect to a host without using a valid login and password. Usually, anonymous FTP  uses a login called anonymous or guest, with the password usually requesting the user's ID for tracking purposes only.
 
Anonymous FTP is used to enable a large number of users to access files on the host without having to go to the trouble of setting up logins for them all. Anonymous FTP systems usually have strict controls over the areas an anonymous user can access.
