FTP server with no password
Here's the situation, to un-panic you:
I have a LAN at my home, which is isolated from any threads from outside, by a hardware NAT-router box. On this LAN is an Windows MCE box to which I upload a movie a few times a week. And since MCE cannot be joined into a network and FTP being a much more efficient protocol for large file transfers, I installed an FTP server on it (IIS). However, since it's an MCE, the logon account doesn't have a password, so that after pressing the power-button, I get MCE without any other input. And since the FTP is IIS, it uses the windows userbase, which has 1 account with no password.
Now the bottom line: FlashFXP always asks for that password when logging into that FTP server. How can I disable that?

Enter anything in the password field, if it's not required by the ftp server it will never be sent.

Too bad, if I fill in something, the server says the password isn't correct, "550 user thany cannot log in".
this is probably because the server *is* expecting a password to be sent, but it has to be empty. I told that it's IIS, and you can't tell IIS to ignore the password. It needs a valid password, whether it's empty or not.
It's the same when logging in interactively, when you try to login with a password into an account that doesn't have a password, it'll fail.

It most likely has an auto login with password setup someplace.
If i were you try setting a password, and have it auto login with that, and you can use that in ftp...

If you don't need a password, do not check [ ] Anonymous and just don't enter any password at all. It will work.

Yeah, but the problem is that FXP asks for a password when actually logging in.

Thany is correct.
If you log into a site with anonymous unchecked and no user or pass it will pop up a box asking for it. If you clear the box and proceed it will not send a blank user/pass. Instead it will make an assumption and send 'anonymous'.

But in my case, it's not an anonymous login. It's a login with a normal user, but with an empty password.
Maybe I should just make the FTP server anonymously accessible

I did some tests and if you create a site entry with a blank password, during connect it will prompt you for a password, if you press enter a blank password is sent to the ftp server.
If this above method doesn't work then perhaps IIS requires a valid password for this account and not a blank one.
