Non-Anonymous FTP

If you have permission or access privileges to an FTP site, you can use your browser to log into the site via your user name. The FTP format (syntax) is changed to:

              ftp://username@ftp.address

where username is your user name and address is the FTP site address you want to go to, including ftp only if it is actually in the address; otherwise it is not included. Your browser displays a dialog box to enter your password. Type in your password and press Enter to continue.

You can use a different format instead and include your password:

              ftp://username:password@ftp.address

You must have previously gained access privileges before using non-anonymous FTP.
