You can of course explicitly embed a username in the URL, but that doesn't do what you want, if you want what I think you want. I would say it is a browser function - if you can't get in to an FTP server, the client can detect the reason ("user unknown" is a different error than "too many connections" etc), and pop up a dialog box to ask for a correct username/password. -- E-mail: galactus@htmlhelp.com ....................
