Can anonymous FTP users upload files to my account?

If you have enabled the anonymous FTP account via your control panel then anyone can upload files to the Anonymous FTP directory.  Unless you have very good reasons for enabling this FTP user we suggest not doing so. We would remind you to consider our Terms and Conditions and to ensure that no illegal files are uploaded as they become your responsibility.

If you have a requirement for a particular person to be able to upload information regarding your website, you should give them their own FTP account.
