FTP access to USB

I'm having troubles simply logging into the FTP (ready share using USB).  Read/Write acess is "no password".  I know I'm connecting to the server because I'm getting a 220 response but when I authenticate the user name and password I get a error 530.  It's almost like it wants a a specific user name/password but I set it up to not require one but keeps telling me "530 Login incorrect".

    Wow, I just figured this out.  The user name has to be "anonymous".  Hope this helps out the next person

         Or "ftp".  At least on my D7000 (V1.0.1.54_1.0.1).  That's fairly
      common, but not universal, on anonymous FTP servers.  So, if you're
      writing some general script, then "anonymous" is safer, but if you're
      typing interactively, "ftp" is often worth a try.
