I suggest you put a password on that box, before someone else finds it!
Besides being more secure, it will allow you to use PHP's ftp as it is
usually used.
Also, since we are talking anonymous login to ftp, you might try using
an email address for a password. That seems to be a common convention.
You are MUCH better off password protecting the OS/2 box:
Double click on: TCP/IP Internet (LAN) - you may have to look for it in
OS/2 System.
In that folder, double click on TCP/IP Configuration (LAN).
I know these say LAN, but things like FTP passwords will affect dial up
networking too.
Click on the Security Tab.
Click on the Add button.
Fill out the form with an explicit username/password combination, and
optionally a specific drive and directory you wish to serve via ftp. The
directory you specify here will be the 'home' directory for the
specified user, and the only area your machine will serve files from.
If you have more than one user who wants access, you can create as many
authorized users as you wish by repeating the instructions starting at
the Add button.
P.S. It is nice to see I am not the only OS/2 user left... :)
