Misc : FTP from a browser

Most people know that you can FTP from a browser via the

ftp://

mechanism.

What most people don't realise is that you can also include the logon and password. The format is:

ftp://logon:password@site

e.g. ftp://user1:pass1@111.24.12.6

You can also set an initial directory

e.g. ftp://user1:pass1@111.24.12.6/dir1/dir2

provided that the user has the rights to access that directory.

Enjoy!
