It is possible to download some files on the FTP server which do not need authentification. This
kind of connection is called "Anonymous" to use it, you must enter Anonymous as a user name. (if
the user name field is empty, Anonymous is set by default)

It is possible, for example, to download the email client Thunderbird 0.5 in English on the
mozilla.org FTP server.
We will use the Quickconnect bar, but there are, of course, other methods.

In the Quickconnect bar, write the address of the mozilla.org FTP server (ftp.mozilla.org) in
Address, then click on Quickconnect.

Look for the file thunderbird-0.5-win32.zip


while navigating in Remote Site
(pub/mozilla.org/thunderbird/release/0.5)

Right click on the file and choose Download.

The downloading progress bar appears at the bottom of the window.

N.B. The file is automatically downloaded into the Local Site.
