Answer» When using IE 6.0 in Windows XP, I try to access my own FTP site by writing:
ftp://[email protected]
(The X's represent my IP address)
Now I should be prompted for my password but I am not! Instead a flashlight appears and I wait and wait until IE eventually crashes.
However if I try to logon anonymously, like this:
ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx
it works fine!
So why won't it LET me connect as a user with a password?
Any help appreciated are you using port 21 and is your SCRIPT ok>http://www.bambooweb.com/articles/f/i/File_transfer_protocol.htmlThanks again MErlin,
your link showed me where I had done wrong. Instead of writing:
ftp://[email protected]
and assuming I WOULD be prompted to write my password (as another website told me would happen, but it didn't happen), I should write:
ftp://MyUserName:[email protected]
So it works fine now, thanks.
