FTP/Auditor

FTP/Auditor is a Windows software tool that scans your company's network and identifies all of the FTP servers that are running. For each server that it finds, it provides the "welcome" message the server sends to help you identify the server type and perhaps its purpose.

Additionally, it asses each FTP server it finds to see if it allows anonymous logon. Anonymous logon means that a user can access files available on the FTP server without having to provide any logon credentials.

Anonymous logon is generally not recommended because it can expose corporate data to unauthorized parties and does not provide any audit trail back to the person who accessed the data.
