[jira] [Created] (FTPSERVER-427) Support 'anonymous' account alias
'ftp', like every other good FTP server does
Support 'anonymous' account alias 'ftp', like every other good FTP server does
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: FTPSERVER-427
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FTPSERVER-427
Project: FtpServer
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Core
Affects Versions: 1.0.6
Reporter: Blaine Simpson
Per http://www.faqs.org/faqs/ftp-list/faq/:
This permits you to log in with the user name 'anonymous' or the user name 'ftp'.
But really, just access any popular anonymous FTP server and log in with account "ftp", and you will see that "ftp" is an alias for "anonymous" (but much easier to type).

Resolution: Invalid
Assignee: Niklas Gustavsson
This is already supported, simply add a user called "ftp" to your user manager as per the example for anonymous in the shipped user.properties.

[jira] [Reopened] (FTPSERVER-427) Support 'anonymous' account alias
'ftp', like every other good FTP server does

Blaine Simpson reopened FTPSERVER-427:
--------------------------------------
Niklas is wrong.
The file is "users.properties", not "user.properties".
I checked every "users.properties" in both source and binary distributions before I filed this bug. I took the anonymous account settings in those files and changed just the user name from "anonymous" to "ftp". Of course that doesn't work because there is no configuration there that in any way specifies special anonymous handling (where any password works for the specified account).
As you can easily see in the source code, especially "PASS.java", there is special, magic handling when user name is "anonymous". With the anonymous feature enabled, if I set password to "" for user with name "anonymous", any password satisfies. If I set password to "" for "ftp" or any other user, then only the empty password satisfies.
As my original ticket explains, "ftp" as an alias for the special "anonymous" account has been standard for FTP servers for the 25 years. Can FtpServer follow the tradition please?
