CAUSE
When handling a
PUT, FTP uses the credentials configured in the virtual directory configuration.
The
GET command uses the credentials of the logged on user.
In the case of anonymous access this is:
IUSR_<computer_name>
The result is that you can either send the file to the FTP server or delete the file from the FTP server, however, the file cannot be downloaded.
