boxturt Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I would imagine he means http://111.222.33.44/SAFORUMS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junior Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I believe that if you only want him to have access to that particular folder, you will need to set him up an ftp account with that username. That way, when he logs in, he will automatically go to that folder. Host name: ip address user: saforums@****** passsord: whatever you assign remeber that the server is case sensitive, so everything must be in lower case The user name above must be in that syntax, (username@yourdomain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
