Dual login to FTP server.

We have sun-solaris ftp server. Our documentation tell that "...server uses a dual-login procedure for security. This requires all users to login anonymously first, and then login as a designated user...". Can some one please explain how this improves the security.
I am trying to connect to this ftp server through wininet.dll, programatically from powerbuilder. But, due to dual login, I am not able to connect.
I am absolutely out of clue. Can some one please through some light on this topic....please.
