so my users can access their blog directories, i have made a pw protected directory "http://.../login" and added the users to it. the index file within contains multiple urls for users to interact w/ the system.

one of them being a link to their 'home' directory (where they can store images, etc...)

I intended to have the link ftp*//redtv.org and when prompted users input their login info and the browser either mounts the volume (macOS) or internet explorer acts as an ftp client(windows)...

 

but when i click the link from my MAC system it mounts what i believe to be anonymous directory...(incoming folder) but doesnt log anything in cpanel under session control. I have cpanel anonymous setup w/ allow unchecked.

 

to try to avoid this i changed the link to

ftp*//redtv.org@redtv.org

so as to fail on anonymous login and promtpt the user while reminding them to use the @domain name @ the end of their login.... this does such and prompts me, but when i try to use an ftp account i have created, it fails,,,

 

is it not possible to use a browser window to access the ftp protocol?

thanks!

In IE when you goto ftp.yoursite.com

and see the incoming folder, I goto the file menu and select login as.

And all is well.

 

Does this work on the Mac as well?

nope... no login as...

 

also...

do i have to point the sub domain FTP to redtv.org for it to work?

there isnt a subdomain already set up... so shouldnt i be ftp-ing to

simply domain.org ??

 

also...

even when i am prompted for authentication...

the created users do not work thru the web interface.

 

also...

i tried on a windows box, and did file > login as...

still the created user accounts do not work.

 

thanks
