Ok, we have a ftp site. If you put ftp.companyname.com it brings you to the ftp site in your browser logged in as anonymous. We have a folder that we have setup to require a different username and password. When I click on the folder I get access denied. What I want is it to prompt me for the username and password. How can I go about this? The username and password are for a user we setup in a win2000 sbs active directory.

ftp isnt normally accessed by browser if it is http://ftp.company.com then you still access it by using http -- the web server is the one who responds, server side scripts in a file will not be visible... ftp is a mean to get & put the files raw --> an ftp client is the best, but I think you can do ftp://ftp.company.com on most browsers... when you're entering a protected directory, the browser will pop a login box... or you can put them directly to the address bar: ftp://username:password@ftp.yourcompany.com/~your_protected_dir in my experience, doing ftp connection thru browsers are very slow :) ^o^ are you in Asia? do you watch Animax Asia?

its ftp://ftp.companyname.com It's not popping up a login box in the browser. I want it to pop one up. Instead it just says access denied. If I go from the dos prompt I can log into that directory. I'd rather not have the people have to put user:pwd in the address bar for simplicity's sake. Maybe I have it setup wrong. Here is how I have it setup. the protected directory has ntfs rights set on it to only allow a particular user and administrator access. When a user enters the ftp site they are logged in as anonymous. When they click on the folder they get access denied. Instead, I would like it to prompt them for a user/pwd. Is this possible?
