You cannot access content in alfresco through ANONYMOUS FTP, default alfresco implementation of FTP requires authentication.
You can give Guest permission to your file and use the guest access url if you only need to see or download the file. http://<your_Site>:<port>/alfresco/guestDownload/d/workspace/SpacesStore/<doc UUID>/<docname>
Hello, I am using Alfresco 5.1.e and want to allow access to a space in alfresco share to people without credentials. I followed the Blog http://www.seedim.com.au/content/public-access-documents-share-site and created a custom model with the download url field and added aspect on the document library folder and assigned guest user the consumer permission on document library folder. But when I am uploading the documents in that space no url is getting added in the metadata field. Please help.
Having custom content model, aspect and setting property, I believe it's huge work and end up with error which is you facing.
In my mind as you want to allow access to outside you can just create one space with guest consumer permission and expose all content of this space with simple webscript. Once you listed down all your content, with it's metadata you can form below format URL (which mentioned in blog) in order to download document.
