OneRedLT4 Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 I tried to access my site using windows XP's ftp access and it no longer works (going to ftp://mysite.com). Is this a setting thing or is not allowed with TCH anymore? I have the option enabled on my system. I saw that "SSN" is no longer available, but I didn't know what SSN was. I just signed up for the forums, so I hope to find some time to browse around. Thanks -Jim Quote
borfast Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 (edited) Hello Jim, and welcome to your extended family! This should be a settings problem. TCH places no restrictions on which FTP client you use. Do you have anonymous FTP activated on your site? If not, using only that URL will not work, you'll need to provide a username and password along with the URL, such as ftp://username:password@yoursite.com. I do not recommend this, though as the username will be left visible on explorer's history. You could try a real FTP client, such as SmartFTP. Hope this helps. If you need anything, just ask here on the forums! By the way, I'm moving this to a more appropriate forum for better exposure and organization. Edit: I just read Bruce's post. I didn't think of that: if you don't provide a username and password, it will ask you to enter that information. LOL Sorry, I must be needing to sleep some more But I still recommend you use a real FTP client instead of Windows Edited January 9, 2005 by TCH-Raul Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Welcome to the family and forums, Jim! I just tried and it worked for me. From a command line. I used ftp mydomain.ext It prompted me for my ftp username and password. Quote

Raul, thanks for the info, I do use CuteFTP Pro but I was thinking more of when I'm doing work away from home on other people's PCs. I agree about the lack of security in the browsers history, but last time this worked, a pop up box asking for the username and password popped up. Thanks -Jim Quote
TCH-Don Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Welcome to the forum and the family! I have had mixed results using a browser. It seems sometimes it works and then later, no. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted January 9, 2005 Posted January 9, 2005 Sorry...Command line? Is that in the command prompt "area"? Yes, opening a DOS command window. Quote
