Canonically, though, you can use anonymous FTP with a username of 'anonymous' (or sometimes 'ftp') and your e-mail address (really, any string) as a password. I'd expect that ncftp's defaults would do this (using [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a password) in the absence of an explicit username. > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ncftp -u anonymous ftp://www.progeny.com > NcFTP 3.1.3 (Mar 27, 2002) by Mike Gleason ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). > Could not connect to 216.37.46.132 -- try again later: Connection > timed out.
