You should use a valid unix account to connect..
To setup an anonymous ftp server requires a bit more work then just starting the ftp service.

FYI
Code:
     in.ftpd  authenticates  users  according  to  the  following
     rules:

     First, the user name must be in the password data base,  the
     location  of  which  is  specified  in  nsswitch.conf(4). An
     encrypted password (an authentication token in PAM) must  be
     present.  A  password  must always be provided by the client
     before any  file  operations  can  be  performed.  For  non-
     anonymous  users,  the  PAM framework is used to verify that
     the correct password was entered. See SECURITY below.

     Second,  the  user  name  must  not  appear  in  either  the
     /etc/ftpusers  or  the  /etc/ftpd/ftpusers  file. Use of the
     /etc/ftpusers files is deprecated, although it is still sup-
     ported.

     Third, the users must have  a  standard  shell  returned  by
     getusershell(3C).

     Fourth, if the user name is anonymous or ftp,  an  anonymous
     ftp  account  must  be present in the password file for user
     ftp. Use ftpconfig(1M) to create the anonymous  ftp  account
     and home directory tree.

     Fifth, if the GSS-API is used to authenticate the user, then
     gss_auth_rules(5)  determines user access without a password
     needed.

     The FTP Server supports virtual hosting, which can  be  con-
     figured by using ftpaddhost(1M).

     The FTP Server does not support sublogins.

netrc

NETRC(5)                                                      BSD File Formats Manual                                                     NETRC(5)

NAME

     netrc -- user configuration for ftp

SYNOPSIS

     ~/.netrc

DESCRIPTION

     This file contains configuration and autologin information for the File Transfer Protocol client ftp(1).

     The .netrc file contains login and initialization information used by the auto-login process.  It resides in the user's home directory.  The
     following tokens are recognized; they may be separated by spaces, tabs, or new-lines:

     machine name
               Identify a remote machine name.  The auto-login process searches the .netrc file for a machine token that matches the remote
               machine specified on the ftp command line or as an open command argument.  Once a match is made, the subsequent .netrc tokens are
               processed, stopping when the end of file is reached or another machine or a default token is encountered.

     default   This is the same as machine name except that default matches any name.  There can be only one default token, and it must be after
               all machine tokens.  This is normally used as:

                     default login anonymous password user@site

               thereby giving the user automatic anonymous ftp login to machines not specified in .netrc.  This can be overridden by using the -n
               flag to disable auto-login.

     login name
               Identify a user on the remote machine.  If this token is present, the auto-login process will initiate a login using the specified
               name.

     password string
               Supply a password.  If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the specified string if the remote server requires
               a password as part of the login process.  Note that if this token is present in the .netrc file for any user other than anonymous,
               ftp will abort the auto-login process if the .netrc is readable by anyone besides the user.

     account string
               Supply an additional account password.  If this token is present, the auto-login process will supply the specified string if the
               remote server requires an additional account password, or the auto-login process will initiate an ACCT command if it does not.

     macdef name
               Define a macro.  This token functions like the ftp macdef command functions.  A macro is defined with the specified name; its con-
               tents begin with the next .netrc line and continue until a null line (consecutive new-line characters) is encountered.  If a macro
               named init is defined, it is automatically executed as the last step in the auto-login process.
