FTP server login script

thewebgeek · Jan 8, 2001

Does anyone have a script that will prompt users for their ID and password, then submit the user Id and password in the following format:

ftp://<userid>:<password>@mywebsite.com/

I would like the password to be hidden from view in the address window of the browser as well.

Any ideas?

if you want them to go to that address, the only way to hide it is to open a new window without an address bar, but, this script should work to redirect them....

<form name="frm">
<input type="text" name="user">
<input type="password" name="pwd">
<input type="button" onclick="enter()">
</form>

<script>
function enter()
{
user = document.frm.user.value;
pass = document.frm.pwd.value;
window.location = "ftp://"+user+":"+pass+"@mywebsite.com";
}

adam@aauser.com

Nope, not working. I think its the last line of your code. What is the function of window.location?

window.location returns or sets the current url of the window contents jared@aauser.com

Thanks! Let me know if/when you address the password hiding issue.

Also, the submit button is a little "sticky". Meaning it appears as if the browser has frozen when it hasn't. For now I will just leave a message on the html page stating this. If you can resolve that, it would be greatly appreciated.

Well, I have a new twist. I want to process anonymous logins as well as non-anonymous. The policy is for anonymous logins to use their email addresses as the password. This works fine in Netscape, But in IE, it appears the extra "@" symbol gives it a hissy fit. Any ideas?
