Entering an FTP username and password as well as the hostname in a URL
Sometimes it is useful to enter a username and password in a FTP URL. It is done in this format:
So if your username was "dave" and your password is "m0nkey" you would enter this string into your browser url bar. ftp://dave:m0nkey@ftpserver.com Of course I am not endorsing this as a sensible way of transfering files across the internet and entering authentication but it can be handy on the odd occasion.
username:password@ftpserver.com
