The how-tos and documentation for setting up a password-protected ftp account under my domain seem very straightforward and easy to follow; that's probably exactly why I'm having so much trouble!

 

Okay, let's say I want to open an ftp account for user id bozo and require a password to access it. I've gone to the ftp manager section of the cpanel and created an account, both with and without first having created a subdomain to match (such as bozo.mydomain.biz). Everything looks good until I actually try to access the account. I've tried both a client (leechftp) and web browser access. I've tried:

 

bozo.mydomain.biz

bozo@mydomain.biz

ftp.mydomain.biz with userid bozo and password mypassword

 

I've tried similar efforts with ftp://and so on...

 

In all cases it recognized the subdomain and/or the main domain, but always bombs saying the user id and/or password is invalid.

 

What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

In your ftp client use the following:

 

FTP Host: ftp.yourdomain.biz

Username: bozo@yourdomain.biz

Password: Assigned Password

 

If you have an option to select Passive mode I recommend using it as well.

Can the URL be set up as clickable in Explorer?

 

anonymous@12string.net

 

How to make that into a clickiable URL for Explorer?

 

Not a ftp client.

 

thanks! For uploads of band songs.

 

Make sure that you connect to ftp.12string.net with your ftp client, or you may not be able to login.

 

But I need it in Explorer.

 

Thanks!!!!!
