Use the command "ftp" to connect the system's FTP service. Attempt to log into this host with a user name of anonymous and a password of guest (also try the password of guest@mail.com). If the logon is not successful, this check is Not Applicable.

Ask the SA if the system is located on a DMZ network. If the system is not located on a DMZ network, this is a finding.
