FireFox and FTP...

[Jeff7181]

I can't find any options for storing FTP usernames and passwords. I'm trying to connect to my ISP's FTP server to upload files and stuff, but FireFox doesn't prompt me to enter a username and password, just tells me the login info is incorrect (Error 530).

So... how do I make it allow me to enter a username and password?

I'm not sure if there's an option for a dialog in FF, but you can certainly add it into the URL.
ftp://user:password@yourftp

Thanks... that's good for just downloading stuff from it... but doesn't let me upload. I found an extension though called fireFTP that works well.

Actually that extension doesn't seem to work... guess I gotta do it from comcast.net's web page.

I'd recommend getting an FTP client, as browsers typically have only rudimentary FTP capabilities. Then you won't have to use a web page to get any of it done. I think Smart FTP is free for noncommercial use, though I personally have been using Bulletproof FTP for many years. Should be easy to find with a search.
