Unless you are an administrator of the FTP server, you may not have a list of valid users and passwords. Additionally, sending a password
plain/text may be a security risk depending on your network setup. One option is to provide a username of anonymous with a password of email. The resulting URL would be in the form of ftp://anonymous:email@some.server/path/to/install. This may seem unintuitive, but this will still exercise anaconda's ability to properly parse user input and send the information to the requested FTP server.
Expected Results
- Anaconda moves to stage#2 using ftp images
- Anaconda completes successfully
- System boots successfully
