I am trying to use Konqueror to login into a ftp site. The site has my user name as a email address. I have looked around and tried the following and can’t connect.
ftp://"name@host.com":password@ftp.host.com
Note I use filezilla on XP and everythings works ok.
You need the ftp address first
which will invoke the login
Or
You can install filezilla in Linux, it’s in Packman I think
Or can install gFTP. Its gnome based.
Support ssh2 also with front end.
The main problem was my username was an email address so I found the following explaination on a website and it works (replacing the @ symbol in my username with %40)
Normal syntax:
ftp://username:password@ftp.website.com
Sometimes there is an “@” inside the username. In order not to confuse Konqueror which “@” is for the username, and which one defines the host, it is necessary to convert this “@” for the username, and you’ll use %40 instead:
Good:
ftp://username%40website.com:password@ftp.website.com
Bad:
> Good:
>
> ftp://username%40website.com:password@ftp.website.com
>
> Bad:
>
> ftp://username@website.com:password@ftp.website.com
let me guess: the site you are trying to contact is hosted on a
Redmond product??
they do everything they can to control and/or subvert real net standards…
