There are two different types of FTP sites: public (anonymous) and private. Both ask for a userID and password when you sign on. The difference is that, on a public FTP site, you can choose to enter "anonymous" as the userid and your email address as the password. On a private site, this will not work. Instead, you must be assigned a unique userID and password, and you must use these to log in.

For security reasons, Intermedia does not offer public FTP sites. We offer only private FTP sites.
