FTP Windows Server 2008, don't make users login?

I'm trying to configure an internal FTP server for a coworker to use for temporary storage.  He doesn't want to have to login at all.  Setting it to Anonymous Authentication still requires you to enter a username and password.  How can I make it not require anything?

Could be NTFS permissions. How are the NTFS permissions setup on the folder.

Here is a decent how to in case you want to retrace your steps.

I'm not sure you understand.  Here is the description of "Anonymous Authentication" from IIS Help:

"Anonymous authentication is a built-in authentication method that allows any user to access any public content by providing an anonymous user name and password. By default, Anonymous authentication is disabled."

I want to avoid the bold part.

The client is the problem and what is driving the requirement for no username password.  It cannot be changed.
