ftp login script

[thewebgeek]

my company wants a login page for our ftp site. Some people will login as anonymous and use their email address as the password, and others will have an actual password that enables them to have more access than anonymous users.

I have tried a login page that asks for the user ID and password, and for some reason Internet explorer freaks out when anonymous users submit email addresses as their passwords. I think the "@" symbol in the email address is causing the problem.

So, then I removed the text field that asks for the password. When I do that, Netscape prompts the user for the password, but Internet Explorer does not, and assumes you are an anonymous user. ANy ideas? Below is the code I am using.


<script language-&quot;javascript&quot;>
<!--
function enter()
{
user = document.frm.user.value;
pass = document.frm.pwd.value;
window.location = &quot;ftp://&quot;+user+&quot;:&quot;+pass+&quot;@phoenixsoftware.com/pub/&quot;;
}
//-->
</script>

hehe... what do you mean when you say IE freaks out? Are you receiving an error? If its a problem with IE putting the extra @ sybmol in the address (url) than you can try using:

pass=document.escape(pass) jared@aauser.com
