ftp@domain accounts

[villah]

I have received several complaints from users that have problems logging into the FTP server with the user@domain login format. When using ftp://user@domain:password@ftp.domain.com it's probably the two @ in there. Can a user create an ftp account without the @domain extension? Might it be an idea to use the same format as when creating databases: username_ftpname.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Have they tried doing ftp://domain.com and then entering user@domain.com/password when they're prompted?

I can see how that's an issue... A duplicate character could be used.. like '+' or something.. ie: ftp://user+domain.com: password@domain.com ... that would have to be considered before implementation (doesn't yet exist).

Yes they (and I) have... try it in IE and you'll see what happens after you get prompted to enter the un/pw...
