Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] anonymous access for FTP

I haven't tried this, but it sounds like a great idea for FTP. However I
have some questions
(1) What other services use FTP's style of anonymous login? That is, is
this a change just for FTP?
(2) I don't want this showing up on dstore or other services that don't
support anonymous login, is this tailorable?
(3) should this really be a checkbox? Since its causing fields to be filled
maybe it should be a button - kind of like "restore defaults" is on
preferences.

Perhaps one way to make this available only for FTP is to have a new method
on ConnectorService -- supportsAnonymousLogin()?

Hi,

The solution of bug #161212: [ftp] "The username dialog should have a
checkbox for anonymous access"  (
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=161212) will add a checkbox
for anonymous access.  The patch for the bug can be found in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=52676
Checking it would set the user id field as anonymous and a dummy email-like
password (at the moment rse@xxxxxxxxxxx); unchecking it would clear the
password field and set the default user id.

This option would be available when the user id / password dialog appears,
at the moment for FTP and also SSH.

Does anybody have any objection to adding the anonymous checkbox (since
it'll be visible on other subsystems a part of FTP) ?
