Why am I getting this 530 error?

I keep getting: "530 User anonymous unknown" every time I try to connect via FTP. This is after following the limited guidelines. And this is from Mac and PC. I do get on the PC side a return message that the server is available and the name of it and all kinds of information. But no access.

I have spent the past couple of hours searching the complete Apple site and really miss the TILs. Now it looks like you have to have the secret code or divine knowledge to get into what should be readily accessible informational areas.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Oh also, anyone know where I can find documentation on all the different ways that you can access connected Macs and PCs via the Internet? I found links that said "How to", but the articles were "If you can't" and were serverely vague.

Thanks

Well I have good news, at least for me. I discovered a way to do what I wanted and it works perfectly. I had to mess around with the destination path and the process didn't take effect immediately. But it is doing exactly what I want and I don't get the errors.

I sent out several test inquiries to PC users and will be checking how well this works. If I run into any snags, I'll post back.
