I tried setting up an FTP account for family to drop images/videos then
give them instructions to use either windows explorer or firefox.
Both methods work if I use the main user account and password, but both
fail if I use a custom FTP account created using the cPanel FTP
manager. I'm thinking that neither likes the fact that the FTP manager
account naming convention is:
FTP username: account at domain.com
The windows method (substituting variables of course) is:
1) Open My Computer
2) Click View --> Toolbar --> Address Bar
3) In the address bar enter: ftp:account at domain.com:password at domain.com
which fails. The main user account which succeeds:
ftp:account:password at domain.com
Is there any workaround for ftp accounts that are named like this?
