TCH-JimE Posted April 11, 2003 Posted April 11, 2003 Hi, Remove the USER id from the that string you quoted Jim Quote
rvjimmy Posted April 12, 2003 Author Posted April 12, 2003 Hi, Remove the USER id from the that string you quoted Jim can you give an example that all Quote
boxturt Posted April 12, 2003 Posted April 12, 2003 I would imagine he means http://111.222.33.44/SAFORUMS Quote
Junior Posted April 12, 2003 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
