login to ftp page

ok, you know when you go to an ftp server (one that does not allow anon access), internet explorer will prompt you for a username/password?

what i am trying to do is make a page where you can input said username and password, and will then redirect you to, and log you into an ftp server (namely mine, running off of my computer).

any ideas as to how do do this?

You should be able to do this by including the username/password in the URL when you redirect to the FTP server. This may help from http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/ftpurl.html :



So, redirecting to something like ftp://ftpuser:ftppassword@myftpsite.com/files should work.

But, be aware that this will appear in the URL bar so there are some security issues.

that worked, tyvm
