Linking problems with html?

[beyondsociety]

I have a website made with html and I want to create a link to a ftp site, but I can't figure out how to.

This won't work:

<a href=&quot;ftp://mccabeos@ftp.portland.co.uk/&quot;>FTP SITE</a>

Is there some kind of html command for ftp or do I not have this set up right.

Any help would be appreciated.

Apparently the tag is reading somewhat like an email address so try removing the @

<a href=&quot;mccabeos@ftp.portland.co.uk/&quot;>FTP&quot;

or remove the last &quot;
or check the tags prior to <a href

there may be something with an open tag still pointing to an email location or use the simple link notation with full address
<a href=&quot;ftp://url/&quot;>

either of these may work. Chad L. Miller

I figured it out!.

First I had to figure out my domain name for my site and once I figured that out, all I had to do was add a index.html file as my webpage and then just create a link to where my files where keep on the ftp site.I don't have to put the ftp site in my link, just the domain name and then followed by the folder where the files are kept.

Thanks for your help!
