Yes, anonymous login is disabled.... because the sole reason for FTP is for the various authors/maintainers of classic/retro computing sites which the classiccmp server hosts. Each website owner/author uses FTP to maintain their website on the classiccmp server.
That being said.... a bunch of ideas/projects have been languishing on the backburner, and some may involve FTP. Some examples.... 1) (This one is already a given) If anyone wants an FTP spot for classic/retro computing files, it's available gratis. Just email me off-list. 2) I was thinking of creating a web interface such that people could upload pictures and/or a "tinyurl" functionality, such that when they make posts to the list where they want to include a picture or long link it gets uploaded to the classiccmp server and the link is available to posters. Long story short, since the mailing list doesn't allow attachments - this would allow the same functionality. Added bonus, the material doesn't go away over time and can be maintained. 3) Specific "public" ftp repositories for all listmember use. Of course, we'd have to have people "sign up" for a classiccmp.org account to keep it from being publicly used for "anything". Just random thoughts - other thoughts/ideas that anyone may have - just email me offlist.

Is "anonymous" login enabled on your FTP server? Or do we require a login before we can access the site?
