But Brian, this is the first time you have actually posted the password, 
which I will add, works just fine for gFTP, I am looking at the top level 
directory listing now.

The normal convention is to use 'anonymous' as the username, and enter your 
email address as a password, this so that the user logging into the 
anonymous account, can be logged as his email address is then in the logs.

Logging in as anonymous, then using anonymous at randomrodder.com for a pw 
won't leave the potentially malicious users email addy in the logs.  Of 
course the veracity of the person logging in cannot be actually proved in 
any event.

That doesn't seem like a very good policy, no more in those logs than in my 
/var/log/httpd/access_log.

Cheers, Gene
