FTP access via broswer not client

[dk@plan9]

I want to allow others to access certain folders/files via ftp and a browser - as apposed to setting up an ftp client at their end not everyone wants to r is able to configure an ftp client.

I have successfully set up specific directories that people can access via and ftp client.

My previous server allowed simple, browser access to directories. People were directed to specific folders based on login and password.

How do I do that with Hostmonster? :o

If you want someone to access an FTP server in their browser, tell them to follow a link in their browser similar to:
ftp://username:password@domain.com/directory/

Just watch when using the ftp://username:password@domain.com/etc syntax as it will put the password in the clear.

(And, if I'm not mistaken will be logged by any proxy server that you happen to pass through).

I'm trying what you have suggested linFox but it is just not linking. I keep getting login failed. I created the folder right beside another that I have successfully allowed ftp access to thru an ftp client.

Q:Is it real fussy about exactly where the folder I want to access is located?
