I have my domain with Cdn Webhosting, vernrb.com
I've set up a couple of ftp users with passwords
now the questions:
1. how do my users access their directory in the browser?
2. can they upload as well as download?
thank you,
vern

If it does not work, you might disable Passive FTP in IE:

Tools -> Internet Options -> Advanced tab and deselect

Use Passive FTP (for firewall and DSL modem compatibility)

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I am able to open up my ftp site (ftp://vernrb.com) using your suggestion.
BUT, I still don't know how to upload, it seems I can only download files when I open up my ftp site on my browser by using your suggestion, which is:
ftp://username:password@domain_name/www

I appreciate any suggestions you have for how my clients can upload using their browser.
thanks,
vern

Hello Vern..

Its quite a easy task using IE browser..

* Just Drag the file(s) from their location on your computer (Windows Explorer, File Manager, your desktop, etc.) into the browser window and drop them. You should get a message asking if you want to upload the files. Choose "yes."
* Your files should now be uploaded to our FTP site.

If you still find any difficulty with this.. let us know
