OK this is not a support question, but I do need help.

 I am trying to login to an anonymous FTP, when I try it always says Password required for "Anonymous" login.

 I've tried sending an email address as a password, I've tried just a word "powertcp".

 I always get password required, login failed.

 Thanks

Hi,
You should contact the administrator of the server and ask what the server requires.

I contacted the Administrators of the ftp site and they said that they did not require anything other than an email address (well anything with the @ symbol in it would be accepted).

I was looking for some examples on your site and came across the PowerTCP FTP Client (written by Tony Priest).

I installed it and ran it (the EXE version) and I get the same login error.

When I go in Help>About>Details it indicates Winsock version 1.1
I checked the version of Winsock.dll on my workstation and it's 3.10
Among other things where is this 1.1 version coming from?

Thanks

Hi,
The Winsock.dll version is not equivalent to the version of Winsock installed. Do not worry about this; it is not the source of the problem.

Are you able to connect to the server using command line Ftp? Other Ftp clients?
What does the Trace log look like?
Can I get access to this server?
Thanks,

I am able to connect using other FTP Clients and the command line FTP.

Here's what's in the trace:
220 ormsftpa FTP server (AUTHORIZED FTS ACCESS ONLY) ready.
USER Anonymous
331 Password required for Anonymous.
PASS archambault.alexandre@hydro.qc.ca
530 Login incorrect.

I've tried a valid shorter email address and a fake email address with the same results

Here's the ftp site's address:

aftp.theimo.com (and yes the site's address starts with an a).

Thanks for you help

Thanks for all of your help.

Don't I look like an idiot for not trying THAT!
