FireFox 2.0 & Site Login's

[TechLarry]

I'll probably slap myself after someone tells me the solution, but...

I have a corporate FTP site I log into. In IE, I have to go to the site, then use the File/Login As... option to specify my credentials.

I cannot figure out how to do this in FireFox 2.0.

Thanks

When you you try the same steps with FF2, what happens/doesn't happen?

 

[TechLarry]

There is no obvious way to provide the login info. In IE, you choose File/Login as.

Firefox does not have this option.

I have figured it out, however. You have to embed the login/password into the beginning of the url.

It's a pain in the ass, but it works.

The format is login[email protected]

Dammit, the BBS keeps changing things on me LOL

login : password @ site . com

Remove all the spaces.

Next time try the CODE tag. Works well and isn't so frustrating.

login:[email protected]

Yeah, I was just editing my post to reflect that when you posted LOL

Just FYI:

(25) You are allowed one signature per post. A signature section is supplied for that usage. No one wants to see your name on your posts multiple times as it is annoying.

Eh?

Meaning, putting this...

...is in violation of the rules. If you feel it necessary to include, you have to put it inside your signature.
