FTP Folders

[boogieoompa 0]

Is there a way to open a secure (username/password) FTP folder in the windows folder. I know how to open a folder programatically but not open it in the traditional sense (what an end user would think of opening an FTP folder). Basically in my GUI I would like a button that opens a specific folder in the FTP folder and passes the username and password while opening it in a typical folder. Currently I can only do this within my gui.

Thanks

just open as an argument to explorer.exe

run("explorer.exe ftp://ftp.adobe.com")

And you can pass the credentials as ftp://username:pass@ftp.adobe.com

ShellExecute("explorer.exe", "ftp://username:password@ftp.site.com")

Edit : If this doesn't work and you have IE 8 - google IE8 and FTP sites. Under tools/Options/Advanced you should see something like 'Enable FTP view outside of Internet Explorer' which needs to be checked.

But what about username/password. Currently I am able to get the window open but have to use the Send() command to pass thru credentials.

[iamtheky 766]

are you attempting to mask these credentials, such that passing them in the URL is inadvisable (ftp://username:password@hostname)? Though, I suppose you have them stored in your current autoit which is equally so.

you could also just supply the username in the URL and have it prompt for the password, and then send it.
