Re: [squid-users] ftp site

Or if you need to specify a specific email address on a specific site, but
wishes to leave the default "Squid@" anonymous email address:

   ftp://anonymous:your.email%40domain@ftp.example.com/

(%40 is the URL escaped code for @)

Note: FTP as such does not have a anonymous user, but it is tradition that
the login "anonymous" is anonymous users, sending their email address as
password.
