I have a FTP server which can be accessed at [email protected]. You then need to log in with username and password.

I would like to include this path as a link in a webpage but regardless of what I do , I cannot for the life of me get it to work. IF I (A HREF="ftp://[email protected]" or A HREF="[email protected] or A HREF="ftp://[email protected] ) regardless I cannot get it to work. Once I have uploaded the page, I get a page cannot de displayed error. Ive tried this on multiple PC's but still no joy

any ideas ?

the option has been taken out of the browser as a security risk

Not sure about that, if I select to open the link in a new window as opposed to the same window it seems to work ?

Oh well - sorted now
