Re: [dsdp-tm-dev] anonymous access for FTP
|
Most FTP clients I have seen so far use a checkbox for anonymous access.
I'm in favor of a supportsAnonymousLogin() method on IConnectorService.

The checkbox fills the user ID and password fields, as possibly the
user wants to provide its own email address as password, but doesn't
perform the login action.
It allows a quicker way to access services allowing an "anonymous"
user, rather than having to type it every time.
Answering DavidD questins:
(1) What other services use FTP's style of anonymous login? That is, is
this a change just for FTP?
I expect systems having a "guest" account could provide it as
anonymous user..
(2) I don't want this showing up on dstore or other services that don't
support anonymous login, is this tailorable?
It is only shown by services requiring user id and password (using the
SystemPasswordPromptDialog class); if it helps to avoid user
confussion a supportsAnonymousLogin() on ConnectorService could be
added, as suggested.
(3) should this really be a checkbox? Since its causing fields to be
filled
maybe it should be a button - kind of like "restore defaults" is on
preferences.
A checkbox has a concept of do <-> undo, so if unchecked it cleans up
the anonymous user id and password and writes the default id (as
initially)
