You will not find it on the Busybox site.
Stericson builds Busybox with his own settings.
If you don't know what those settings are and you can't find them, you'd
be most likely to find out if you ask something like this on XDA:
  <explain what you searched for unsuccessfully>
  Where would I find the .config for busybox 1.24.1 (Stericson)?

Once you get that file, look for a line that contains
FEATURE_FTP_AUTHENTICATION

If it says something like "# FEATURE_FTP_AUTHENTICATION is not set",
then it's anonymous.
If it says "FEATURE_FTP_AUTHENTICATION=y", then it's not anonymous.
