That's why it's anonymous.Anonymous ftp is safe as long as it can't be used 
for both read and write. Passwords and FTP lack of security has been known 
for years. This server has been set this way now for at least 10 years and it 
hasn't caused any problem. Ilke I tell everyone that has a password, please 
don't use ftp. Use SCP. I did tell you that, right?

I tried to fix that the other day and didn't get it figured out. The jobs are 
running. They also don't do anything if I run them by hand, so I'll spend 
some time and get them going.
