FTP Login box

[ian89]

Is there any way I can make this possible: A login box is embedded in the website, and a user can enter his username and password in there and he is redirected to his folder in a non-anonymous FTP site. PHP scripting for this would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have the form submit to a file, and at the top of the file use php's header() function to redirect, like this:

header('Location: ftp://' $_POST['user'] . ':' . $_POST['pass'] . '@ftpsite.com');

thanks for the idea pal. it somehow works on firefox, but not on IE7 since it does not seem to support FTP browsing. because of this, is there such a way that doing so would open windows explorer instead? thanks much.

The only way I know of doing it in IE7 is by going to the Page Menu and selecting "Open FTP site in Windows Explorer"

Or... associating the ftp:// extension with an FTP client, like Filezilla.

i dunno what went wrong, im such a noob, but the code above doesnt seem to do anything in firefox anymore. all it does is redirects into a blank page. what im trying to achieve here here is a code that gathers username and password data from a form and uses it to enter an ftp site via ftp://username:[email protected] address. please help me on this. thanks.
