    Heres the story.

    I have a server that I log into using internet explorer. I type "ftp://name@site.com" and then prompted with a log in screen. I then log in. Everything works fine for me.

    Now heres the problem.

    I want to give my buddy some space on my ftp to start learning web-design. So I went to add ftp, and it gave him a location "site.com/buddy". I even gave him a starter index. Now here's where i'm confused. How does he login into this?

    When I try ftp://buddy@site.com and then prompted with the log in screen, nothing happens. It just acts as if the password is incorrect. I then tried ftp://buddy.password@site.com and got nothing. Followed that with buddy@site.com/buddy. And that didn't work.

    I also gave him a sub-domain of buddy.site.com. Then tried logging into his ftp through ftp://buddy@buddy.site.com and then it just caught my computer on fire.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Shane eckel.

    Hi Shane,

    After creating the ftp account. In browser type:

    URL : ftp://buddy@site.com
    In login prompt you need to put the follwing username
    Username : buddy@site.com
    Password : password

    Kindly try this.

    Thanks

    Why you don`t use the command box ? There are some problems with any browsers to access with ftp to a site. It can happens that some acces rights or settings on your web browser or file system causing the effect.
    I belive you can use the synthax and the usrname and pwd in the url.
    I must look for the correct synthax. You should have acces to your page.

    URL ftp://username : pwd | buddy@site.com
    Type
    ftp
    username
    password
    binary

    Help for command tools

    I am having a similar problem now aswell - think this could be related to the FC5 issue

    I have tried and I know I am using the correct username/ password.

    its almost as if cpanel has not updated the FTP userdatabase

    ANyone know where that is, so I can check myself

    Thanks
