Accessing an FTP account using a browser or windows explorer

To access an ftp account using a web browser or windows explorer, use the following url format

ftp://user+yourdomain.com@yourdomain.com

For example, if you had set up an ftp account called 'test' and your domain name was joecool.com you could access it in a browser or in windows explorer using the following url.

ftp://test+joecool.com@yourdomain.com

from there, a login prompt should come up... enter the following information

username - test@joecool.com (format = ftpuser@domain.com)

password - the password you assigned to the ftp account.
