How To Disable Anonymous FTP In WHM Server?

What is anonymous FTP?
Anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) enables remote users to use the FTP server without an assigned user ID and password. Anonymous FTP enables unprotected access (no password required) to selected information about a remote system. You should disable anonymous FTP in WHM as allowing anonymous FTP logins is generally considered to weaken the security of the server. You should only enable this feature to make content publicly available for download.
