Not at present. First, FTP requires a "user.account" to start. Second,
there is no chroot() function in MPE like there is on the 9000 to home
the anonymous user into a limited directory. If you gain access to the
3000 by FTP, you get access to the entire filesystem (depending on how
account/group/user/file security is set). Other solutions (tftpd, OMI
web server, etc) restrict access by manipulating file paths on the fly,
and FTP is not designed to do this (generally speaking).
I too would like anonymous access and have been asking for years :-)
