If I want to reference a resource via an ftp URL that requires a username and password (other than anonymous) on the host machine, is there a standard way to indicate this in the URL without providing a username i.e. ftp://:@myhost.com/a/resource This doesn't work (under Netscape), but the alternative ftp://myhost.com/a/resource only tries the username 'anonymous' and fails if this is not supported on the host. Is there a standard solution (the URL RFC 1738 isn't clear on this) or is it simply a browser implementation issue (Cyberdog for example requests a username and password if anonymous fails). Thanks, Steve. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Steve Heaney Schlumberger <URL:http://www.slb.com/cgi-bin/people.pl?type=person&name=steven%20heaney> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
