How do I connect to GoDaddy's FTP server which has only a username and no password?

Question

I am trying to download a zip file from GoDaddy's ftp server with node-ftp, but node-ftp changes empty passwords to 'anonymous@' by default in their connect function. How can I connect to their FTP server using only a username and no password?

Scanned the source code, they change the password to anonymous@ here: https://github.com/mscdex/node-ftp/blob/master/lib/connection.js#L92

const FTPClient = require('ftp');
const fs = require('fs');
const extract = require('extract-zip');

let getGoDaddyAuctionListings = () => {

    let config = {
        directory: "/tmp/",
        file: "auctions_ending_today.json.zip"
    };
    config.filePath = config.directory + config.file;
    let c = new FTPClient();

    c.on('ready', () => {
        c.get(config.file, (err, stream) => {
            if (err) throw err; //todo: change to handleError function
            stream.once('close', () => { c.end(); });
            stream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(config.filePath));
            extract(config.filePath, {dir:config.dir}, (err) => {
               if (err) throw err;
            });
        })
    });

    c.connect({
        host: 'ftp.godaddy.com',
        user: 'auctions',
        password: ' '
    });

};

getGoDaddyAuctionListings();

This code:

this.options.password = options.password ||
    options.password === '' ? options.password : 'anonymous@';

allows an empty password, but you are not giving it an empty one:

password: ' '

You've set the password to a space. Do this:

password: ''

and it should work fine.
