Q: How can I log on to an FTP server with a username and password?

A: You can do this two ways. One, you can use specialised FTP software,

rather than your browser to access the FTP server. They allow you to enter

a login name and password for FTP sites that you have special access to.

Two, if you are using Internet Explorer, you could try typing the username

and password into the address of the site you wish to access. For example,

if you are trying to access the site "ftp.archive.com" with the username

"aperson" and the password "apass", then you would enter into the address

line:

ftp://aperson:[email protected]
