This is a browser question, not a server question. Based on my personal experiences - and I manage a production FTP server with over 1,100 user accounts on it - browsers and authenticated FTP just don't mix. Browsers and anonymous FTP is bearable, but authenticated FTP is just asking for problems. Use a real FTP client - there are many to chose from - and you'll be far happier in the long run. The bottom line answer for your question is NO - the RFC specifies what should happen with an FTP url and usernames (RFC1738): 3.2.1. FTP Name and Password A user name and password may be supplied; they are used in the ftp "USER" and "PASS" commands after first making the connection to the FTP server. If no user name or password is supplied and one is requested by the FTP server, the conventions for "anonymous" FTP are to be used, as follows: The user name "anonymous" is supplied. The password is supplied as the Internet e-mail address of the end user accessing the resource. If the URL supplies a user name but no password, and the remote server requests a password, the program interpreting the FTP URL should request one from the user. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
