Anonymous

Go to Glossary List



Description: If someone is anonymous, their identity is not known. Anonymous posters to a newsgroup hides their true identity. Anonymous FTP access is sometimes allowed to download files. In this case, the username is "anonymous" (or "ftp") and the password is not checked. However, it is considered polite to supply one's e-mail address as the password, and some sites require this.
