I downloaded "File Zilla" and have a 5gbs.com account which is a free webhoster, and when I connect to the site I made I get these messages<br />

I then I am not connected. What is causing this error? Is there a different web host I should use?<br />

You are trying to connect to the FTP server using an 'anonymous' login which is not allowed. You should have a username (and most likely a password too) which must be used when logging in.

Using SmartFTP (cos it's the fastest screenshot I could find!) if you look at the screenshot http//www.smartftp.com/screenshots/standard.xp.png you will see to the right of the address bar a box for username and password, this is what needs to be added to whichever FTP client you are using.

EDIT http//filezilla-project.org/images/screenshots/fz3_win_main.png is the Filezilla screen shot and, again, the username & password boxes are on the right of the address (host) bar
