FTP is used to share files and folder over the network it works on 21 port with TCP protocol. FTP is used by many Organizations and Companies on their on-premise network as well as public network to share files.
Now Lets Configure FTP server with anonymous access with anonymous access any one in our network will be able to access our FTP server without any username or password based authentication.
1) Install Packages.
sudo apt install vsftpd -y
2) set anonymous access to YES in /etc/vsftpd.conf file.
# This directive enables listening on IPv6 sockets. By default, listening
# on the IPv6 “any” address (::) will accept connections from both IPv6
# and IPv4 clients. It is not necessary to listen on *both* IPv4 and IPv6
# sockets. If you want that (perhaps because you want to listen on specific
# addresses) then you must run two copies of vsftpd with two configuration
# files.
listen_ipv6=YES
#
# Allow anonymous FTP? (Disabled by default).
anonymous_enable=YES
#
after you edit the file press “Ctrl + O” , press enter & “Ctrl + X”
