No, the embedded FTP server is a highly specialized FTP server that is coupled to the web interface. It will not allow 3rd party logins or anonymous FTP. The embedded FTP server will only allow logins through the web interface. It achieves this by: 1) only allowing logins by users who are currently logged into the web application. 2) using as a passord for that user the session id from the web application session. Thus, the embedded FTP server is very secure.
