 You should've actually tried this first.  Most anonymous ftp users
 allow either 'ftp' or 'anonymous' as the username for anonymous logins.
 For example:
 
 > ftp ftp.FreeBSD.org

State-Changed-Why:  
ftp.FreeBSD.org accepts 'ftp' as well as 'anonymous' for the username for  
anonymous logins.  Thus, the Handbook's instructions are perfectly valid.

 I don't see any reason to change `ftp' to `anonymous'. `ftp' is completely
 correct name.
 
 JFYI, `ftp' is real user name and `anonymos' is its synonym.
