But when I connect with a client I am always required me a username and password for authentication that are not aware. The server should not be anonymous? Please can help me. Thanks

Was your busybox compiled with FEATURE_FTP_AUTHENTICATION enabled?

If so, provide the username and password for a local account.
In other words, if user 'ftp' has password 'foo' on the computer that
runs ftpd, give those as your username and password.

Note to developers:
//usage: should match the various features; always describing ftpd as an
'anonymous FTP server' is gross inaccuracy, when you can turn on password-
based authentiacation.
