Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com - This is a close to full access option that allows anonymous users to view files, download files, and delete files from your public_ftp folder, take note that 'guest' users are not allowed to upload files to this public folder, those files in the public_ftp are placed by the hosting account admin.
Allow anonymous upload to ftp://ftp.yourdomain.com/incoming - This option open up full access to guest login (view, upload, download, and delete files) from your public_ftp/incoming folder.
